The GAA have announced that Bank of Ireland have agreed to renew its sponsorship of the GAA Football Championship for another four years, up to and including 2007.
The current four-year sponsorship deal expires at the end of 2003 and will be the tenth year of the Bank's sponsorship of the Football Championship. But that deal has been extended by a further four years.
GAA President Sean McCague hailed the annoucement, saying: "We are delighted to welcome Bank of Ireland on board for a further four years. The Bank has a long relationship with the Association through their sponsorship of the All Stars in the past and of course their commitment to the Football Championship since 1994."
"It is an exciting time for the championship, with the introduction of the qualifiers two years ago providing us with more games, a host of novel pairings and the prominence of teams such as Sligo, Westmeath and Limerick adding great interest to the competition," McCague added.
