Homeland and Connacht Gold are backing Mayo camogie

Mayo Camogie has welcomed back Homeland as a supporter for the 2022 season, and additionally welcomes Connacht Gold on board as player profile sponsor.

Mayo Camogie County Board chairperson Rosemary Smith said: “We are delighted to welcome Homeland on board again as a Mayo Camogie corporate supporter for 2022 and Connacht Gold as player profile sponsor. It is wonderful to have such strong Irish brands such as Homeland and Connacht Gold back our players for the season.

“Having recently won our final in Division 4 of the Littlewoods Ireland Camogie Leagues, we now look forward to the upcoming Glen Dimplex Premier Junior Championship and the excitement of the Under 16 championships and Under 14 national development leagues over the next few months.”

Caroline Millar, brand development and marketing executive for Homeland at Aurivo, said they were similarly delighted to support Mayo Camogie again this year.

She commented: “Our Homeland teams at our nine Mayo stores, I have no doubt, will all be following along and cheering the teams on in support. Wishing the players the very best of luck in the upcoming Premier Junior Championship from all at Team Homeland!”

Homeland have 34 stores located across the west of Ireland, providing a full range of products for the agri, garden, hardware, homeware and pet sectors.

Based in the heart of the community, Homeland pride themselves on their team’s friendly approach to customer service and expert advice. Their online store at www.homeland.ie continues to offer their range of products with delivery nationwide across their departments.

Most of the Homeland team live in the areas in which they work, and at Homeland they are committed to sharing their expertise with their valued customers. Innovation is a key pillar on which they build their business and a range of Homeland-branded products have been developed with customer needs in mind.

Niamh Jinks, communications and brand manager, Aurivo, said Connacht Gold is also delighted to come on board as sponsor of the Mayo Camogie player profiles this year.

“It’s a great way for supporters to get to know a little about all the players who represent their county and do them proud on the pitch,” she stated.

“At Aurivo, we pride ourselves on playing an active role in the communities in which we operate, and we are committed to getting behind local sportspeople.”

Connacht Gold is an iconic national brand with a wide range of butter and milk products for all the family. Connacht Gold Half Fat Butter is celebrating 30 years as Ireland’s only half-fat real butter, while Connacht Gold is the number two brand in Ireland’s butter and spreads category.

While acutely responding to changing consumer behaviours when it was first launched, the brand, which continues to innovate, is an iconic one that is as truly relevant to consumers today as it was 30 years ago.
