Armagh GAA and McKeever Sports are delighted to announce a new partnership deal which will see the Portadown-based company supplying all of the Orchard County’s official GAA on-field and off-field gear.

A new Armagh GAA jersey along with an extensive range of supporters leisurewear and a training range will be launching on November 1 in time for the 2020 GAA All-Ireland Championship Series and Christmas this year.

The range will be available in approved stores throughout the county and on-line at McKeeverSports.com.

“Our goal in securing the full licensing suite back in early March was to bring freshness, innovation and excellent service to our county teams as we progress into a new decade.

“We are delighted that the Armagh County Board have recognised our endeavours and we are committed to delivering superior quality, high performance teamwear.

“We are confident that the new McKeever range will help the Armagh Panel deliver on their commitment to strengthen player and community pride, respect and success on and off the field.

“We look forward to signing more LGFA, Camogie and Mens Inter-county teams to our growing cohort and plan to try and shake things up at county level in the GAA over the coming years.”

“We look forward to the new professional partnership with McKeever Sports, as we work together to build success and help take our county teams to new and exciting levels.”
