Cats keep going for three years longer

WHATEVER else befalls Kilkenny in Sunday’s All-Ireland SHC semi-final clash with Galway, they should not run out of energy.

At a media briefing in Langton’s yesterday, the County Board announced a three-year extension to their sponsorship with Lucozade Sport, a deal which includes product supply to Kilkenny teams at every grade, hurling and football.

Speaking on behalf of the company, Ms Jocelyn Emerson, Marketing Director, said “As a healthcare company, we are fully committed not alone to providing sportsmen and sportswomen with the best product possible, but also of ensuring that those involved in sport have the best possible nutritional information available to them. That is why we have teamed up with the NCTC in Limerick, and also why we have set up the Lucozade Sport Science Academy. We take our commitment to Kilkenny, and to the GAA in general, very seriously. We have been supporting the GAA since 1994, and over the years have worked closely with a growing number of county boards, helping them support all their athletes in training, match preparation and recovery.”
