Full fibre broadband provider Fibrus has demonstrated its commitment to giving back to local communities with a new sponsorship deal.
The organisation has confirmed a five-year sponsorship deal with Antrim GAA, supporting the Senior, U20 and U17 football and hurling teams.
A special event was held at Hilton Hotel in Belfast to publicly announce the deal, where company representatives were joined by hurling legends Neil McManus, Conal Cunning and football stars Ryan Murray and Dermot McAleese.
Speaking at the launch, Fibrus Co-Founder Dominic Kearns, a Saffron County native and an ex-Antrim player, said: "Fibrus is all about connecting communities and bringing people together – much like Antrim GAA.
"Indeed, sport has always been something which connects people across the board and – not unlike broadband – it is also a great unifier of communities.
"As Fibrus helps to level up rural and remote parts of the north by providing previously underserved areas with access to full fibre broadband, we stand beside Antrim GAA as it continues to serve communities off the pitch, while also striving for success on it.
"And while Fibrus remains committed to building the critical 21st century infrastructure, we will also continue to focus on what we, as a company, can do for those in the society we serve."
As part of the partnership, Fibrus' name and logo will appear on the front of the new Antrim GAA senior, minor and under-20 team jerseys and also on all leisure wear. It can be purchased in stores and online from 08 December.
This historic sponsorship deal will be vital in ensuring participation levels in Gaelic games continue to grow in Antrim. The funding will also ensure all teams from Senior to underage have access to the equipment, conditioning and nutrition needed to compete at the highest possible level.
