GAA superstars joined forces to launch Opel Kit for Clubs 2014, Opel Ireland's grassroots initiative offering GAA fans the chance to earn free sports kit and equipment for their local GAA club.

We're delighted that Opel are once again launching their Kits for Clubs initiative - a fantastic example of one of our national GAA sponsorships reaching out to our clubs in a tangible way through the provision of playing gear and equipment.

The six players who will act as Opel's GAA Ambassadors throughout 2014 are Michael Darragh Macauley (Dublin), Joe Canning (Galway), Eoin Cadogan (Cork), Jackie Tyrrell (Kilkenny), Colm Cooper (Kerry) and Ciarán Kilkenny (Dublin).

Opel Kit for Clubs is Opel's way of giving something back to the GAA community. For every test drive or purchase you make from the Opel range, or for any vehicle serviced through the Opel dealer network, your local GAA club is awarded points which can be built up and redeemed against high quality kit for the club.

With kits and equipment representing a significant annual investment for GAA clubs across the country, taking part in the Opel Kit for Clubs initiative can help clubs reduce operational costs each year. For instance, Loughmore Castleiney (Tipperary) earned 7,840 points in 2013, which equates to €11,760 worth of gear for the club. Arklow Rocks GAA Club (Wicklow) earned 6,800 points in 2013, which is equivalent to 8 sets of jerseys and a saving of over €8000 for the club. Over the past three years, in excess of €280,000 worth of gear has been given away to GAA clubs, with €136,000 in 2013 alone.
