🤝 Friendship Extended: Dunnes Stores Continue Their Support of Shamrock Saints
We are delighted to announce that Dunnes Stores have extended their support of Shamrock Saints Handball Club for another year! 🧡💚
For us, this is about much more than sponsorship. It is about community, children, sport and giving young people opportunities to be active, have fun and be part of something positive.
At Shamrock Saints, we are working hard to build a strong handball community where every child feels welcome — whether they are picking up a handball for the very first time or dreaming of representing the club in the future. 🤾♂️🤾♀️
Support from local businesses such as Dunnes Stores helps us continue developing our club, creating opportunities for young players and growing handball within our local community.
🧡 Supporting Local Sport
Grassroots sport doesn't grow on its own. It grows because people and businesses within the community choose to get behind it.
When a local business supports a sports club, they are helping much more than a team. They are supporting children, families, volunteers, coaches and the wider community.
That is why partnerships like this mean so much to Shamrock Saints.
We are incredibly grateful to Dunnes Stores for believing in what we are building and for continuing to stand behind our club for another year.
💚 Growing Together
Our goal is simple: get more kids involved in handball, create a positive sporting environment and build something that our community can be proud of.
With the support of partners like Dunnes Stores, we can keep moving forward, growing our junior programmes and giving more young people the opportunity to discover the sport we love.
A huge THANK YOU to everyone at Dunnes Stores for your continued support. 🙌
