Vodafone waiting for All-Ireland call

MOBILE phone giants Vodafone are keen to take the sponsorship of the All-Ireland hurling championship in the event of Guinness ending their involvement at the end of this year.

They have not publicly declared an interest, but the GAA feel they would be interested in a deal.

Confirming they will support the Allstars scheme for another 12 months - reputedly at a cost in excess of €1 million - Vodafone expressed a desire to deepen their association. The company also said they will be staying with Clare for a further two years.
