Kilhan Construction’s support will directly contribute to the development of the next generation of Gaelic Games players and strengthen our sporting communities across Britain. We are incredibly grateful for their investment and look forward to working together over the next three years.”
The 2025 ABCs will take place from July 3rd to July 6th at The Hazelwood Centre in Sunbury-on-Thames, with Gael Londain serving as the host club.
Kilhan Construction’s Managing Director, Michael Kilcoyne, shared his thoughts on the collaboration:
