Local sports club to recieve Texaco 'Support for Sport' funding

Offaly soccer club Moneygall Football Club has been announced as one of the twenty-five Irish sports clubs to benefit from the €125,000 funding initiative. They will receive €5000 in funding.

The Texaco Support for Sport initiative is in its fourth year, and the scheme is hosted and organised by Valero Energy (Ireland) Limited, the company that markets fuel in Ireland under the Texaco brand, with judging overseen by former Irish rugby international and well-known broadcaster, Donncha O’Callaghan.

Congratulating the winners, and praising the work of club officials and volunteers, James Twohig, Director of Ireland Operations, Valero Energy (Ireland) Limited, acknowledged “the invaluable contribution” that sports clubs make to the heart of community life in Ireland.

“The purpose of our Texaco Support for Sport initiative is to help ease financial pressure on sports clubs throughout the country and, since its inception, we are proud to have distributed over €500,000 to a variety of more than 100 Irish sports clubs to help them continue to play a pivotal role within their communities,” Mr. Twohig added.

An invitation to enter the 2025 Texaco Support for Sport initiative will issue again in the Autumn, with entries open to all clubs, including those whose application may have been unsuccessful previously.
