London-based businessman shares pride in sponsoring GAA team ‘close to his heart’

A LONDON-BASED businessman has shared his pride in sponsoring the Galway GAA team which saw victory in the British capital earlier this month.

Mick Crossan’s waste management firm Powerday was among the companies who sponsored Galway as they faced London in the GAA Connacht Senior Football Championship.
