Football Association.

Our President spoke of her delight of this new sponsorship, and
of the prestige that the sponsorship would add to the post primary
schools competitions. She also acknowledged the work of teachers,

with the Association, and of Pat the Bakers “commitment to
supporting and growing the sport”, over the next three years
at schools level. Eddie went on to say that, Pat the Baker is
