Bord Gáis Energy made 500 county-themed All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship final Christmas jumpers available for sale on Monday – with all proceeds going to homeless charity Focus Ireland.

There were 250 available for each of the finalists, Limerick and Waterford, and they sold out in less than 12 hours raising an incredible €20,000 to help fight homelessness in the run-up to Christmas.

The response to the campaign was incredible, with supporters showing how much their care about their team and helping Focus Ireland by snapping up the 500 jumpers in a matter of hours.

The jumpers are manufactured in Ireland by the GAA’s official leisurewear providers, Ganzee and went on sale on www.ganzee.ie on Monday at 10am, the day after the second of this year’s All-Ireland semi-finals, and were all sold by 10pm. Every cent paid by hurling fans for their county-themed jumpers goes to Focus Ireland.
