"The sporting image of the BMW brand is a perfect fit with what is one of the most important community and sporting organisations in the local area. We are pleased to be able to support the efforts of Derry GAA in promoting sport to local children and families within a safe and welcoming environment. We look forward to 2020 and wish all the Derry teams and clubs the best of luck for the years ahead."
