Next weekend’s Abbvie Mayo SFL Division 1 and 2 finals are to broadcast live by Mayo GAA TV. The announcement comes in the wake of confirmation that Mayo Credit Unions is to remain the official broadcast partner of Mayo GAA for all club games streamed this year.
Defending champions Castlebar Mitchels take on Westport in a repeat of last year’s Division 1 final next Saturday, August 3 while the Division 2 final is an all-North Mayo affair between Crossmolina Deel Rovers and Ardnaree Sarsfields on Sunday, August 4, which will also be streamed live on Mayo GAA TV.
Welcoming this year's partnership, Mayo GAA chairperson Seamus Tuohy said that Mayo GAA TV was going from strength to strength with a loyal and growing audience at home and abroad.
“Mayo Credit Unions is rooted in our community and like all of our GAA clubs they are at the heart of rural life in the county. Mayo Credit Unions cater for every parish in the county and everyone associated with Mayo GAA is looking forward to working with them in the coming weeks and months,” commented Tuohy.
“We believe this to be a great partnership,” said a spokesperson for Mayo Credit Unions. “Community, culture and supporting locals is at the heart of what we do. Mayo Credit Unions and Mayo GAA share many of the same values.”
In total, over 20 club games will be streamed live on Mayo GAA TV again this year with action from the senior, intermediate and junior championships all set to feature. The enhanced schedule will also see games streamed live on Friday evenings with the Mayo GAA junior club championship commencing on the weekend of August 10/11.
Mayo GAA PRO John Walker said that having Mayo Credit Unions as a key partner further bolsters the live streaming service.
“We are always looking at ways to improve the service and this season we will have more games, more expert analysis and much more interaction with our audience. We appreciate and understand that some people cannot attend games and Mayo GAA TV provides a vital link with the local clubs and communities at home and abroad,” commented Walker.
