Hugh Morgan Drops Armagh GAA Sponsorship, Hunky Dorys to Sponsor Tyrone GAA

Former Armagh GAA sponsor, Hugh Morgan has criticised the Orchard County and has dropped it’s sponsorship of their flagship stadium, the Athletic grounds.

The venue is to revert to its original name after Morgan Fuels has severed all ties with Armagh GAA.

Armagh announced last week that Rainbow Communications was to become their new jersey sponsors after Morgan Fuels had filled that role for several years.

In a hard-hitting statement Morgan has criticised the county board ‘over their failure to take decisive and strategic action to stem the decline of Armagh Football.’ He also believes they have failed to ‘use the money to invest in the development of the teams’.

Morgan also spoke of the lack of respect shown by the Armagh county board in informing him of the imminent announcement of the new team sponsors on the same weekend that his brother-in-law died suddenly.

Meanwhile Tyrone GAA announced Hunky Dorys will be the new sponsors for the county’s GAA teams.

The deal will see Hunky Dorys crisps sponsor Tyrone league and championship competitions while the Hunky Dorys logo will feature on all county jerseys.

Tyrone county board chairman Ciaran McLoughlin: “This six-figure sponsorship deal is a significant partnership and I believe that it is the right one for the Tyrone GAA family.”
