It's a five-year agreement.

Offaly GAA have announced a five-year agreement with Glenisk to become the main sponsors of both football and hurling activities in the county at all levels.

It brings an end to a long-standing front of house association with another local brand Carroll's of Tullamore, who have been involved with the inter-county set-up since 1991.

Offaly chairman Michael Duignan is hopeful that it won't spend the end of their involvement with GAA in the county.

The announcement comes as Glenisk prepare to re-launch operations following a fire that left their processing facilities at a stand-still since September.

In welcoming the new partnership, Vincent Cleary, Managing Director of Glenisk said.

“It’s with enormous pride that Glenisk becomes official partner to Cumann Lúthchleas Gael Uíbh Fhailí. It is an honour to have the opportunity to play a part as this comeback story unfolds. Supporting Offaly GAA is a long-held ambition and despite the fire at our facility last September, we remained committed.

With faith in the future, both our organisations are hungry for success and excited to face the challenges that lie ahead. At Glenisk, our immediate priority is the return of our products to our customers’ fridges in the coming days. After that, we are looking forward to working closely with Offaly GAA on plans for the years ahead.”

In welcoming Glenisk as main sponsor of Offaly GAA, Chairperson, Michael Duignan said:

"This deal represents a major opportunity to progress Gaelic games in Offaly and offers financial stability and the resources to implement our ambitious plans for the future. We wish Glenisk every success as their products return to the shelves in the coming weeks.

Carroll’s of Tullamore were very much part of our success since 1991. Offaly GAA are very appreciative and thankful for their longstanding sponsorship and hope that the company will continue to support our activities in the coming years."
