Tyrone Fabrication the new county GAA sponsor

by Gráinne Connolly

Tyrone GAA are set to unveil a new sponsor on the front of their jerseys for next season, replacing McAleer and Rush construction firm. 

It's understood that Ballygawley based manufacturers Tyrone Fabrication will be the county's new title sponsors, as shown in an image leaked on both Twitter and Facebook (right). 

Tyrone Fabrication is an engineering company established in 1992, and according to their website they "produce a wide range of advanced steel equipment enclosures for the transportation, communications and power supply industries."

It also says they're "able to work on everything from single, bespoke designs to multinational network systems. Which means we have a solution that's just right for you." 

The company will be succeeding McAleer and Rushe who became Tyrone's sponsors in December 2014, when they agreed to a two year title sponsorship deal and extended it to a third year last November. 

During that time, Tyrone won two Ulster Senior titles, All-Ireland's at U21 and U17 level as well as Division 2 of the National League, ultimately making 'McAleer and Rushe' a well known name around the GAA community and throughout Ireland. 

The decision to go ahead with Tyrone Fabrication was made last week at a Tyrone management committee meeting, and it's believed the sponsor will also cover Ladies Football in the county as well. 

Tyrone Fabrication also sponsors St.Ciaran's High School GAA teams. 

Both Tyrone GAA and Tyrone Fabrications were contacted by Q Radio, however no official announcement has been as of yet.
