Aiming to continue highlighting the incredible volunteer work carried out by club members, nominations are now open where 12 winners, one from each county, will be named Beko Club Champions and receive €1,000 worth of gear and equipment for their local GAA club.

"The Beko Club Champion continues to go from strength to strength over the term of the partnership. We are very proud to be able to recognise heroes of GAA clubs as we know the levels of dedication and commitment they put in on their own time. It’s an honour to be able to meet the volunteers and their families and hear the incredible work they are doing at grass roots level and we look forward to doing it again this year. We want to encourage people to nominate a worthy club member and be in with a chance of becoming a Beko Club Champion," Shane O’Connor, Beko Ireland Marketing Manager, said.
