Speaking at the launch, Pat Horgan said he was looking forward to an exciting championship, building on the success of last yearโs competitions. He said:
โLast yearโs championships were very successful, and we enjoyed many exciting clashes. After a memorable first half of the year with Cork teams performing so well at various levels, I am sure we will see some equally terrific games this season, and I want to wish all our clubs and players well.โ
Pat Horgan also thanked the sponsors Co-Op Superstores for their support.
Jerry Riordan, Retail Operations Manager at Co-Op Superstores said โWe are very pleased to be associated once again with the Cork hurling championships. The first half of the year has shown that the enormous appetite for hurling in Cork remains unabated, and we are pleased to play our part in supporting the best players in the county to exhibit their prowess once more this year on the club stageโ.
Cork GAA CEO Kevin OโDonovan also welcomed the commencement of the new season, and noted the involvement of Clubber, who will provide online coverage of Cork GAA championships in 2025. He noted: โOur partnership with Clubber will allow us to promote our teams and competitions to a large audience across the county and beyond. The success of Sarsfields in reaching last yearโs All Ireland senior club final, and the performances of Imokilly in the county championships, not to mention the performances of our county team, shows the high level that Cork hurling is at. Moreover, the huge crowds in attendance at all of Corkโs games last year shows that the appetite for matches of high quality remains enormous, and we look forward to Clubber showcasing the best of Cork hurling this season”.
