‘Tyrone brand’ a winner

THE Tyrone brand continues to represent a lucrative investment opportunity, despite the recession.

While two major sponsors were lost this year due to the prevailing economic climate, six others were in place within months, as the GAA in the county secured the financial backing required to press ahead with a range of activities.

“It is extremely encouraging, particularly in the difficult economic climate that we are experiencing, to find that so many companies recognise the worth of Tyrone GAA,” says county secretary Dominic McCaughey in his report to next week’s annual convention.
