The much anticipated Forest Fest kicks off in Emo today with gates set to open at 4pm.
Ahead of that, the man behind the event, Philip Meagher, has sponsored Emo GAA’s new senior football jerseys.
They were recently unveiled at Emo GAA grounds and a spokesperson for the club thanked all involved.
They said: “Forest Fest are the main sponsors of Emo GAA for 2023, along with sponsorship for jerseys and equipment they will also be donating money to the club and the neighbouring clubs and committees in Emo.
“Thanks to Philip Meagher there has been a lot of sponsorship done over the last two years as well as numerous other contributions and initiatives in upgrading the facilities in Emo.
