GPA signs €250,000 deal with car firm

THE GAELIC Players Association upped the ante again yesterday in their battle for official recognition with a three-year €250,000 deal with car manufacturers Seat.

The deal will see the GPA’s player of the year in both codes given the keys to a Seat Alhambra car, valued at E20,000 each, while there will also be five awards for the monthly winners from May through to September.

The body’s awards night takes place in November and the players themselves will vote on the winners.
