Monksland United wins new kit in clubs competition

Monksland United FC has been announced as the November winner of the monthly FAI Clubs competition, sponsored by Circle K.

The Athlone club emerged as the winner for November, with Ballymun United and Ashbourne United AFC coming second and third respectively. Each club wins €1,500 worth of kit for their clubs.

The competition runs until next March and will give away a total of €30,000 worth of kit and €30,000 in cash as well as a VIP training experience with players from the Republic of Ireland senior teams.

Ciara Foxton, Managing Director of Circle K Ireland, said: “The Monksland United FC community has really come together to push the club to the top of the leaderboard in this competition, and Circle K is proud to announce them as our November winner."

This is the latest grassroots football initiative from Circle K, linked to the FAI Club Mark Programme that rewards clubs that demonstrate excellence in governance, management, and initiatives to grow grassroots football. Since the start of the partnership Circle K has invested over €130,000 in clubs across Ireland.

The campaign will culminate with the Grand Finale in March where all clubs who enter will be considered for the top prizes, so Circle K is encouraging football clubs across the Republic of Ireland to get involved, log their points and compete.

The prizes for the finale include the following - one club will win a grand prize of €10,000; four additional clubs will win a €5,000 prize; one club will win a VIP training experience with the men’s national team; five clubs will win three sets of kit each.
