Laois GAA and Clubber TV have announced that they've struck a deal to broadcast club championship matches in both hurling and football inside the county for the next two years.
The first games to be streamed are likely to be the quarter-finals of the hurling and football championships as Laois GAA confirmed before the championships that the knockout stages would be available to live stream.
Clubber TV say that 'The partnership between Clubber TV and Laois GAA is set to elevate the Laois Club Championship to new heights, bringing the exhilaration of Gaelic games to a global audience. Fans can look forward to a season filled with unforgettable moments and unforgettable matches.'
The Laois GAA County Board Chairman PJ Kelly has had this to say about the new partnership.
"One of our foremost thoughts was how do we, ‘Laois GAA’ grow and attract a broader base for our games. I think this partnership with Clubber TV gives us not only the ability to give people greater access to games they may not otherwise have seen, but it also guarantees a consistent level of match day production, aligned with the proposition of giving viewers ‘the best seat in the house’, when viewers can’t be here in ‘Laois Hire’ O’ Moore Park.
“As we know, Gaelic games can provide chaos, and that is its glory. Anything can happen. Accordingly, I do feel that this should be a partnership, a partnership of equals, and I hope this is the start of great relationship for both Laois GAA and Clubber TV, and indeed prospective viewers alike.", Kelly said.
"We are absolutely delighted to partner with Laois GAA for the upcoming Club Championship," said Jimmy Doyle, CEO of Clubber TV.
"This partnership underscores our dedication to bringing the best sporting action directly to fans, no matter where they are. With our cutting-edge technology and the GAA's rich history, we are excited to contribute to the growth and popularity of Gaelic games.", Doyle added.
In terms of pricing, Clubber TV have revealed that an Annual Pass can be purchased for €99. This will give Laois fans the opportunity to watch all games in Laois plus all other Clubber counties- Tipp, Kerry, Waterford, Longford, Louth. The individual match pass prices are to be confirmed but are expected to be €11.99-€12.99 per game.
