This weekend sees the kick-off of the Bord na Móna Leinster GAA series, incorporating the O’Byrne Cup, the Walsh Cup and the Kehoe Cup.
This is the first time that the series has ever had sponsorship in their 57 year history, and the funds will be a huge boost to the hardship fund which helps players, officials and the wider “members of the GAA family”.
