Tipperary Camogie secures long-term sponsorship with Alpha Drives
Tipperary Camogie have announced a ground-breaking extension and expansion to their existing partnership with Alpha Drives Ltd.
The new deal will see the Portlaoise-based company expand their sponsorship across every county team in Tipperary, to include all underage development squads and in doing so become the first ever sole sponsor of Tipperary Camogie County teams.
The original three-year sponsorship agreed in 2022 has now been extended to 2027 allowing Alpha Drives Ltd. and Tipperary Camogie to grow and develop together into the future.
The new sponsorship deal is also about future proofing the development and expansion of Camogie in the county. With a passion for sport within the company it was a natural step for Alpha Drives Ltd. to offer additional support to Tipperary Camogie.
County Board Treasurer Aine Kiely O’Donnell said: “The Alpha Drive sponsorship announcement is a first for Tipperary Camogie, sponsorship of all our County teams.
“John and all in Alpha Drives have been a great support in 2022 to Tipperary Camogie and this agreement gives us great confidence for the future. John and Alpha Drives Ltd drive for success is one we in Tipperary Camogie want to mirror.
