A huge thanks goes to Frank MacElhatton, from MacElhatton Solicitors for their generous sponsorship of both Antrim’s Football and Hurling County Development Squads this year.
This year Antrim GAA wanted to put an emphasis on our development squads and reward the players for their hard work, dedication and commitment with a set of jersey shorts and socks and training t-shirt.
These jerseys are unique for each age group and cannot be bought anywhere. For example, the U14 Development squad will be wearing Saffron and navy lines, U15 wearing Saffron and navy stripes, U16 navy body with saffron arms and finally U17 Saffron with white and navy trim. The idea is for each player to progress through the development squad system to a stage where they will wear the full Saffron jersey.
