PRESS RELEASE – CALLING ALL MUNSTER GAA FANS
• Search is on for Munster’s top GAA fan
Monday, May 28, 2012. The Irish Examiner and the Bord Gáis Energy Munster GAA Awards have launched the search for Munster’s GAA supporter of the Year in a bid to celebrate GAA fans who have real pride in club or county.
Do you get dressed up in your county colours and go to the match, do you know the score of every GAA match your county or club has ever played in? If you feel that describes you, we want to know because we are searching for the Irish Examiner Munster GAA Supporter of the Year! In addition to winning a number of great prizes, the person will be honoured at the glittering Bord Gáis Energy Munster GAA Awards in December.
Munster Council Chairman Sean Walsh welcomed the return of the provincial ‘Supporter of the Year’ competition, in association with the Irish Examiner, for this season’s inter-county senior championships saying: “We’re delighted to launch the initiative for a second year and particularly to be in partnership with the Irish Examiner. It gives us the chance to honour and recognize those supporters who devote a large amount of their time to support their county’s teams. Supporters can nominate either themselves or another supporter throughout the championship. They can do this by sending a picture to the Irish Examiner facebook page or through the dedicated competitions site which is up and running.”
Last year’s inaugural winner was well known Cork fan, Cyril Kavanagh, instantly recognisable with his Mexican cape and sombrero. However Kavanagh isn’t just an “occasion junkie” — he’s a frequent visitor to Cork training sessions.
To enter GAA fans simply go to www.irishexaminer.com/competitions or via the competitions tab on www.facebook.com/IrishExaminerSport and submit their captioned photo.
