John Kenny (Deputy Principal St Patrick's Classical School)

St. Patrick's Classical School is thrilled to announce that we have secured a significant sponsorship deal for our sports teams.

We are proud to have WillowWarm Briquettes as the school sponsor of our sports teams for the next two years. This sponsorship represents a significant boost for our school, and promises to enhance the sports experience for our students in numerous ways.

The partnership with WillowWarm Briquettes will enable us to provide our sports teams with the equipment and facilities they need to compete at the highest level.

As our school continues to foster and nurture young sporting talent, this sponsorship deal will help create a sports academy-like structure that will further develop our teams over the coming years.

The sponsorship deal will enable us to carry out vital work on our school pitches, ensuring that they will remain playable throughout the year. We will also be able to update our gym facilities and offer our students the opportunity to take part in strength and conditioning programmes.

The financial support will enable us to run nutrition and mental fitness workshops, taking our sports programmes to the next level.

We are privileged to have a high-profile local business like WillowWarm Briquettes join us in supporting our school. Alan Fox, representing WillowWarm Briquettes, expressed his enthusiasm for this partnership, stating, "We are delighted to be investing in our young local sporting talent. We wish St. Patrick's Classical School every success."

WillowWarm Briquettes, based in Kells, Co. Meath, is at the forefront of promoting cleaner fuel products and produces Ireland's only carbon-neutral briquettes. Their commitment to using locally grown willow and their Guaranteed Irish symbol aligns perfectly with our school's values and ethos, as a recognised Green School.

This is a fantastic locally produced product. WillowWarm Briquettes are available in stockists nationwide, and your support will not only benefit our school's sports programmes but also contribute to the broader goal of sustainable and eco-friendly practices.

We are immensely grateful for the support of WillowWarm Briquettes, and we look forward to the positive impact this partnership will have on our students and our school as a whole.
