PLAYER OF THE MONTH AWARDS -

NEW Ireland Assurance has teamed up with GazetteSport and the Dublin Ladies Gaelic Football Association to promote this summer’s championships by launching the New Ireland Assurance Player of the Month awards.

For June, July and August, Gazette Newspapers will name a monthly winner of the award following their performances in their respective club championships.

Speaking about the new awards, New Ireland Assurance’s Deirdre O’Sullivan said: “We are delighted to be the official sponsors of the Dublin Ladies Football Adult Club Championships. 
“We have a strong tradition in supporting Gaelic games in communities nationwide and this was a fantastic opportunity to be able to support ladies football. 
“As part of this sponsorship and supporting the ladies, we were keen to raise the awareness of the players, the hard work they put in and their achievements. 
“The great reach of the Gazette and its support in the local communities makes it the perfect partner to, together, launch the New Ireland Assurance Player of the Month.”

It is part of the company’s overall sponsorship of the DLGFA’s adult club championship competitions from senior level through to the Junior G championship.

And Joe Keane, Dublin LGFA Chairperson is delighted to have the company on board. 
“The club championship is the heartbeat of our organisation and our partnership with New Ireland Assurance will assist Dublin LGFA greatly in the development of club football within the county,” he said.
“I am especially looking forward to working with New Ireland Assurance to further promote our championships and in doing so acknowledge the tremendous work being carried out by players, coaches and officials at adult grassroots level.”
