Willow Park FC and DPD Ireland are delighted to announce the renewal of their partnership agreement.

DPD Ireland will continue to be the Athlone club’s main sponsor for a second three-year term.

The agreement, which comes as Willow Park celebrates 50 years in football, includes the naming of the club’s grounds at Kilmacuagh, Athlone, as DPD Park.

Marking the new sponsorship agreement were, from left: Declan Holohan, chairman, Willow Park FC, Des Travers, CEO, DPD Ireland and Ian Dempsey, captain of Willow Park's Leinster Senior League team.

Des Travers, CEO of DPD Ireland, said: “We would like to congratulate Willow Park FC on their 50th anniversary.

“DPD is Ireland’s largest dedicated parcel delivery company, we and our families are embedded in the community. We are proud to extend our support of Willow Park FC.

“Both DPD and Willow Park FC continue to go from strength to strength and we look forward to being involved in the journey,” he said.

Willow Park FC chairman Declan Holohan said: “It is the perfect partnership and our club is delighted to be associated with a company of this stature; a market-leading organisation that is at the top of its game.”

Willow Park provides football for schoolboys and girls, youths, and senior men and women.

Its teams compete in the Midland Schoolboys League, the Combined Counties Football League and the Leinster Senior League.

The club’s men’s first team currently plays in the Leinster Senior League Senior 1 division, the second flight of the intermediate section – the highest level of any men’s team in the midlands, outside the SSE Airtricity League.

DPD Ireland is Ireland’s largest dedicated parcel delivery company with a central hub in Athlone.
