The speed of diagnosis that UPMC can offer is a real game changer – this will prove hugely beneficial to the welfare of our players which is most important.“

Colin Doyle, Chairman of Carlow LGFA, said: "We are delighted to partner with UPMC Ireland, a company that shares our passion for promoting health and wellness. This partnership will help us to continue to grow the women's game in Carlow and we look forward to working with UPMC Ireland to achieve this."

The jerseys were launched at an event attended by Fintan Phelan, Mayor of Carlow, at the UPMC Outreach Centre in Carlow.
