A serious message to all supporters

Classy touch

The race for All-Ireland football glory begins in earnest this weekend, with opening round action in both Leinster and Ulster, and a marquee game in Ballybofey on Sunday.

Donegal and Tyrone is set to be an absolute cracker on the field, but the sponsors of the current provincial champions have taken a brave move ahead of the game.

Donegal suffered the second highest rate of farm fatalities in 2014, and the county side are looking to encourage supporters to be more safety conscious by removing the name of their sponsor and replacing it with a simple message.

The county team’s sponsor, Donegal Creameries, will be replaced for Sunday’s game only on the front of their jerseys by the ‘Stay Safe on The Farm’ logo.

Donegal GAA chairman Sean Dunnion is hopeful that the message will be appreciated by fans on both sides,

Aurvio continues to support Donegal GAA through its Donegal Creameries brand sponsorship of our teams. This initiative is a fantastic opportunity to promote safety in the farming community in our county and we are very happy to lend our support to Donegal Creameries and Aurivo in delivering this farm safety awareness campaign.
