Countdown for Texaco sports clubs support

Former Irish rugby international Donncha O’Callaghan has issued a call to sports clubs reminding members that the countdown is on to the 31 January closing date by which applications for a €5,000 award under the Texaco Support for Sport initiative must be made.

Noting the benefit to be gained by the award, the broadcaster and adjudicator confirmed that “entry is open to all clubs irrespective of sporting discipline, size, membership, age, cultural appeal, or gender, including those whose application may have been unsuccessful previously.”

Now in its fourth year, the annual initiative has already seen funding of €385,000 distributed to clubs across the 26 counties, of which €15,000 has come to Co Kildare with successful applicants Leixlip United AFC (2021), Kilcock Celtic FC (2022) and Monasterevin Blueway Kayaking Club (2023) receiving €5,000 in each case.
