These individuals were spotlighted through the Electric Ireland GAA Minor Star Special Recognition awards, celebrating their major contribution off-the-pitch. With the return of GAA and the 2020 Electric Ireland GAA Minor Championships, Electric Ireland is once again spotlighting the incredible talent on show in these great championships and proving that there is nothing minor about playing Minor!

Speaking about the finals, Sarah Sharkey, Brand, PR and Sponsorship Manager at Electric Ireland stated: “Electric Ireland is looking forward to the Minor All-Ireland Championship Finals. The panels have had to deal with so much adversity since the pandemic began in March of last year and we are delighted that they will finally have the chance to complete the 2020 Electric Ireland GAA All-Ireland Minor Championships over the coming weeks. While Electric Ireland is delighted to have spotlighted some of these young people for their off the pitch achievements, it is great to be able to watch them showcase their talent on the pitch once again.” 

Uachtarán CLG Larry McCarthy said, “In this season, filled with delays, Electric Ireland has been unwavering in their support of the GAA All-Ireland Minor Championships and has ensured that young players, their families and clubs, get the recognition that they deserve. The Electric Ireland GAA All-Ireland Minor Championships are always an excellent showcase of upcoming talent and are often where some of the biggest names in GAA make their mark as young players. I look forward to once again seeing these young people excelling on the field of play.” 


Speaking about the Finals, Dublin’s Conal Keaney said: “I am thrilled that the Electric Ireland GAA All-Ireland Minor Championships Finals are back and will be played over the next two weeks. There is no doubt that these four teams have been so resilient in the way that they have dealt with a season like no other.
