“A huge thank you to our generous sponsors who supported the Seán Mellon Hurling & Camogie Festival 2026: NW Autohub, Dunnes Stores, The Bentley, Iceland, Derry City Football Club, Charlie Casey, Tony O’Doherty, Lynches Eurospar, The Derby Bar and Supervalu,” said the spokesperson.
“We are also deeply grateful to everyone who helped out before the event and on the day- organisers, coaches, referees, parents, players and our brilliant community.
