Muldowney is sponsored by a bar in town.

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

As Dec has said, we're in the process of setting up Paypay for the Clan. In the meantime, drop me an email per below and I'll get you on details for bank transfer!

Yeah, as Shelflife said, we didn't have a lot of options (a lot of the names listed above were not available), and when some of our shortlist candidates started to get snapped up by other sponsors we had to act quickly and sign up Sean. It's also difficult to put something like this to a vote without talking about individual player sponsorship costs, we which have told Connacht Rugby we would not disclose.

So any donations received this year will go towards making up the amount the Clan has already contributed to sponsor Sean O'Brien, Sol will have bank/paypal details up soon.

We stress that donations are completely voluntary and are in no way tied to Clan membership. In fact, we are looking into setting up a new signup mechanism in order to establish a core membership base, with a small token charge in return for a piece of Clan merchandise. This is in the very early stages of discussion, so I can't go into any more detail, but we felt that it was only right to call it out here so people don't feel aggrieved when another fund-raising initiative comes up later.

Clanman, we didnt have a lot of options as most of the squad are sponsored, we also have budget constraints.

Perhaps if we looked at this earlier in the year we could put it to a vote.

Also chatted to SOB and hes back running and mad to get back into it.

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

That was fast! Yes, we'll be sponsoring Sean O'Brien this year, it seemed like a good way to both provide money to an academy player and take on a breakout player (who may not otherwise have gotten sponsorship), two birds with one stone so to speak.

Discussion is still open as to how to spend any donations that we'll receive this year. Also, my understanding is that not all of the players above are available, they may be waiting for the sponsor to sign on the dotted line.

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

If we think he'll be in the 23 regularly i.e. he gets a decent amount of gametime against Wasps, we should probably sign him up pronto. In any case we have only 3 OHs so he's bound to get some gametime.

Rather him to Conor Finn as I'd expect Finn to be behind Aki, McSharry, Henshaw, Leader and O'Leary in the midfield pecking order. It would take a (terrifying) number of injuries for him to even make the bench.

How about Connor Finn he should get game time this year

According to the player profiles on the CR website, Jack Carty currently doesn't have sponsorship. Connacht born and bred, academy graduate and should hopefully be fairly dominant in the first team this season.

Only thing about Layden is that he is often crook, and with Mils, Poolman, Healy etc... etc... the back three is very well covered.

I'd feel guilty about leaving Matt out in the cold if we do it again!

If you want an up and coming player I can't see beyond SOB, but if you want to really reap the benefits of appearances then you need to get the biggest name you can. Getting the clan to sponsor the captain would be a good start

Anyway, just let me know the bank account number.
