UCC GAA encompasses Gaelic Football, Hurling, Camogie and Ladies Gaelic Football, with 16 teams involved in over 35 competitions.
The partnership will see UCC’s largest club deepen its relationship with Corks largest private hospital “the Bons” as it puts its support behind one of the most competitive and exciting university clubs in the country.
Today’s event was attended by Tom Kingston (Fitzgibbon Cup team manager), Mark Coleman, Shane Kingston, Paddy O’Loughlin and Eoghan Murphy, student members of the team. Dr Paddy Crowley is the Club Hurling President and Dr John Crowley is the team doctor.
Attendees from the Bon Secours included Consultant Orthopaedic & Sports Surgeon Mr. Declan Bowler, physiotherapist Aoife McMahon and Bon Secours Hospital Cork Manager Harry Canning.
Speaking at today’s announcement, UCC GAA development officer John Grainger said; “It’s a great time for UCC GAA Club, having back to back wins in the Fitzgibbon Cup, particularly given the increase in competition year on year. It’s great to get this support for the club from our neighbour, the Bon Secours Hospital Cork.
Said Harry Canning, Hospital Manager: “We’re delighted to be sponsoring the UCC GAA Club. It’s a fantastic club to be associated with and we look forward to supporting them in their future successes.
We, as a hospital, have invested considerably in the latest injury diagnostic and treatment systems in our inhouse sports clinic and are perfectly equipped to treat injured athletes and get them back to their respective sports as quickly as possible.”
