Increasing sponsorship space just makes cents

A motion calling for GAA jersey sponsors to increase from one to four is in response to the straitening economy, according to its proposers, Castlerea St Kevins.

The Roscommon club are recommending to Congress on Saturday that the advertisement space on jerseys be quadrupled, with prospective sponsor space on the sleeves and back as well as the front of them.

With Division 1 semi-finalists Down continuing to wear jerseys sporting their former sponsors Canal Court Hotel, the need for financial backing by counties and clubs has never been greater.
