One lucky GAA club in Laois is set to be awarded €1,000 worth of training equipment as part of new Leinster-wide initiative.
The 2025 Leinster Club Champion accolade is open to all GAA clubs across County Laois and “rewards and celebrates local GAA club heroes who go above and beyond to help their local community and club.”
In 2024, Mattie Bergin from the Heath GAA Club was chosen as the Laois Club Champion for “his incredible dedication and commitment.”
Leinster GAA and competition sponsors Beko are encouraging people to enter the by submitting details online here.
To enter, people are asked to explain in no more than 200 words which volunteer in their club deserves to be a Leinster GAA Beko Club Champion.
Alternatively, there is the option to upload a short video to a club’s social media platform using #BekoClubChampion.
Nominations are now open. Entries must be submitted prior to the closing date of Friday, September 26, at 5pm, with one club from each county to be awarded the €1,000 worth of training equipment.
Each winner will be selected by an independent judging panel. For more information click here.
Chairman of Leinster GAA, Derek Kent, said the competition “has had a real and lasting impact” over the past nine years.
“It not only provides valuable resources that benefit clubs on the ground, but more importantly, it shines a light on the often-unsung heroes whose dedication keeps our games alive at grassroots level,” Mr Kent said.
