Mayo GAA have announced that local company Hastings Insurance Brokers have secured the naming rights for MacHale Park in Castlebar from 2021 onwards.
Welcoming the new partnership, Mayo County Board chairperson Liam Moffatt said the partnership was great news for Mayo GAA.
“We look forward to working with Hastings Insurance Brokers in the years to come,” he added. “MacHale Park is a prestigious GAA stadium with an immense history over the last 90 years. This partnership works in tandem with the other progressions that will occur in the stadium in the future.”
MacHale Park will be called Hastings Insurance Brokers MacHale Park going forward. Hastings Insurance take over the sponsorship from Elverys, who held the naming rights since 2012.
“On behalf of Mayo GAA I would like to welcome our new sponsor who have deep roots in the community and in the GAA,” continued Mr. Moffatt. “Hastings Insurance are a well-known and reputable company and we look forward to working with them for many years.
“I would also like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank Pat Rowland and all of the team in Elverys for their unwavering and continued support over many years and for facilitating this development.
“By generously releasing the back of the jersey and stadium naming rights from previous agreements, this has enabled further local support to be generated for Mayo GAA and its teams and we are sincerely grateful to Elverys for this initiative.”
The chairman added: “Mayo GAA has a bright future with excellent work being done throughout our organisation and especially so in our schools and clubs. We look forward to welcoming all of our supporters back to Hastings Insurance Brokers MacHale Park in the near future.”
