Monday, July 22: Hockey Ireland are delighted to unveil Manverton as the Main Front-of-Shirt sponsor for the IRL U21 Men in 2026 as preparations continue for the 2026 EuroHockey Championship II competition in Poland this July.
Manverton has been a committed supporter of the U21 programme in recent years, most recently backing both the U21 Women’s and U21 Men’s teams during their respective World Cup campaigns in 2025. The expanded partnership for 2026 reflects a dedicated focus on the U21 Men’s programme, with Manverton taking pride of place on the front of the team’s match jerseys. The company’s branding will also feature on both side panels of the playing kit, as well as across off-field team equipment, including player backpacks.
Speaking about the partnership, Manverton’s Jim Coffey said:
“We are delighted to continue to support the U21 Men in their exciting journey. Their top 10 finish in the recent 2025 World Cup in India lays the platform for future success. These are the senior players of the future, and we are keen to continue to support their growth and development.”
