Vodafone pull out of All-Ireland

VODAFONE will not be continuing their sponsorship of the All-Ireland senior football championship.

Their three-year agreement ended with Cork’s victory over Down on Sunday and GAA sources last night confirmed that the telecommunications giant will not be signing up to a new deal.

The news was not unexpected to Croke Park chiefs given Vodafone’s high profile move to replace Arnotts as title sponsors of Dublin’s intercounty teams earlier this year.
