A Westmeath ladies football club has won a €5,000 jersey sponsorship in a competition run by Greyhound Racing Ireland.

Streamstown's St Joseph’s Ladies Gaelic Football Club recently proudly received their new jerseys from Tim Lucey, CEO of Greyhound Racing Ireland (GRI), on behalf of Mullingar Greyhound Stadium.

The presentation took place in recognition of the club's victory in the 'Love Your Club' video competition, launched by Waterford hurling stalwart John Mullane earlier this year.

The national competition, which encouraged clubs to showcase their passion and community spirit, saw St Joseph’s emerge as one of the two deserving winners which consisted of a €5,000 jersey sponsorship prize.
