Three Mayo clubs to participate in currentaccount.ie All-Ireland Club 7s

The scene is set for the 2023 currentaccount.ie All-Ireland Club 7s (seven-a-side) competitions, to be played tomorrow at the St. Sylvester’s GAA and Naomh Mearnóg clubs in Dublin.

Seventy clubs from Ireland and overseas will participate for the senior, intermediate and junior prizes on offer, including Mayo's Knockmore (senior), CL MacHale Rovers (intermediate) and St. Brigid's (junior).

The All-Ireland Club 7s competitions are sponsored once again by currentaccount.ie, the current account from your credit union. Currentaccount.ie are also proud sponsors of the All-Ireland ladies club football championships.

There was huge interest yet again in the 2023 currentaccount.ie All-Ireland Club 7s – and the current list of participating clubs includes current senior champions, Galway’s Kilkerrin-Clonberne, who are returning in an attempt to defend their crown. Kilkerrin-Clonberne are also the reigning currentaccount.ie All-Ireland club champions.

Tomorrow’s event also marks the start of TG4 All-Ireland finals weekend, with the TG4 All-Ireland junior, intermediate and senior championship winners set to be confirmed at Croke Park on Sunday.

Mícheál Naughton, president of the Ladies Gaelic Football Association, commented: “We’re eagerly anticipating our 2023 currentaccount.ie All-Ireland Club 7s competitions. Once again, we’re delighted that sponsors currentaccount.ie, who also sponsor our All-Ireland Club Championships, are on board with us.

“We established our partnership with currentaccount.ie during the pandemic in 2020, which was an incredible show of faith in ladies football and at a challenging time for sport and business. I would like to thank them most sincerely for their support to date, and I wish continued success to CEO Seamus Newcombe and the entire currentaccount.ie team.”

Mr. Naughton continued: “For the 2023 currentaccount.ie All-Ireland Club 7s, we are at the traditional home of the tournament – the St. Sylvester's and Naomh Mearnóg clubs. We’ve always been provided with a warm welcome there and the facilities available are top class.

“I wish all of the competing teams the very best of luck and I want to acknowledge the sterling work of competition organisers while also paying tribute to our referees and officials who will be on duty on Saturday.

“The currentaccount.ie All-Ireland Club 7s are a wonderful scene-setter ahead of Sunday’s TG4 All-Ireland finals at Croke Park – and we hope to see many fans who will be present at Naomh Mearnóg and St. Sylvester’s tomorrow making the trip to Croke Park on Sunday.”

Speaking on behalf of currentaccount.ie, CEO Seamus Newcombe said: “Currentaccount.ie and our participating credit unions – with 200 offices throughout Ireland – are very pleased once again to sponsor the All-Ireland Club seven-a-side competition. This sponsorship, combined with our sponsorship of the All Ireland club championships, is an indication of our commitment to supporting local, regional and national sport at the heart of our culture and community.

“Together with the TG4 All-Ireland junior, intermediate and senior finals in Croke Park on Sunday, we are in for a fantastic weekend of sport, camaraderie and competition. We are looking forward to some very exciting and competitive games across the board.”

Mr. Newcombe said the All-Ireland Club 7s is a great opportunity for communities to come together and support their local teams.

He added: “Community is at the heart of Irish culture and we are proud to help to promote community enhancement with the availability of our excellent current account service from participating credit unions throughout the country. The Credit Union Current Account, with its globally accepted debit card, competitive fee and friendly service, has been embraced by credit union members across the country, and currentaccount.ie continues to expand its participation and availability in all four provinces.

“We look forward to more opportunities like this in the future, as we move into a post-Covid world and continue building better, brighter, and more financially stable futures for communities across Ireland.”
