Player Sponsorship

I saw Sean O'Brien is sponsored by the Clan on the official website

Get the dosh on Big Willie! Clan player of the year in his first year!

so did i miss the vote on who was going to be the sponsored player this year, SOB is fine with me but it should really have gone to a vote instead of 3 or 4 people deciding it for the rest of us. Let's hope he receovers from his injury and gets back playing

If you could send me the link to donate I'd like to make a contribution. Thanks.

Just had a look at the connacht rugby website, few first teamers still without (signed deal) sponsor. its been updated today cause faloon dint have his sponsor up yesterday and he does now. i flicked through, looking for the clan logo. then i copped i had to click on the academy boys. same thing in match programe, main squad profile well away from academy.
some good players still without sponsors. muldowney, harris wright, sean heanry and john cooney. cooney would be handy with talking about inside of leinster, and henry is a nice guy who always chats and even when injured is at every home game.

SOB usually stands not to far from me, only seen him a few times. he wasnt to interested in the game as he kept going in and out.
Also he isnt that active on twitter. Eoin mckeon tweeted a picture last night of him wearing 'Kings head' tshirt that he got.
Muldoon has been all over Front dooe facebook page giving away tickets to the match tomorrow.

Last year didnt seem we got much out of heally. i expected him to show up at the dail bar when he was injured for one of the away games and talk during half time etc. i think value for money needs to be got from SOB, find out from the branch does a sponsor get pairs of match tickets, photo opp and a signed jersey etc

Muldowney is sponsored by a bar in town.

Thanks for the reply. I know its a hard choice picking. Not giving out, just my thoughts.

SOB seemed like a good choice and, anyway, we can't really discuss players' value-for-money in public without risking letters from lawyers. Fair enough, i expected that

You're dead right about getting our dues this year, and we were provided with a list of benefits for the sponsor as part of the contract. I'm not sure we we are allowed to post that list (Dec can probably answer that). fair enough as long as value for money is got
A good bit of our motivation for this as well is to raise our profile WITHIN Connacht Rugby and with the players. This year sponsorship was being handled by Gavin Duffy, so our name is now familiar with one more man who is intimately tied to the province's rugby community.

Join the committee and you'll be party to all these intrigues (once you have sworn fealty to our secret god Johnicus Dos Concretim, and been initiated to the Secrets of Elwood). i cant believe i googled Johnicus Dos Concretim
