ESB Energy believe that the return of the schools to the All-Britain Competition for the 10th year anniversary is 'hugely positive'

The 10th year anniversary of the All-Britain Competition (ABCs) takes place this summer at Tir Chonaill Gaels in Greenford.

The event will take place from 8th to 11th September and will welcome participants from GAA clubs and schools from all over England, Scotland, and Wales, with an invitation to a cross-community Ulster team, Cuchulainns also to come.

One of the key sponser's of the event, ESB have been spoken about the special relationship they have with the ABCs. 

Michael Conry, ESB's General Manager in the UK spoke to the Irish post and said: 'It's been hugely positive. We have been a supporter for several years and part of that has obviously been part of a financial contribution, but staff here at ESB have gone to events and supported it with a physical presence.

It's a real example of a community activity and community initiative that's grown from strength to strength and the 10-years are a credit to that." 

When asked how the excited the ESB are about the ABCs in September, Conry said: 'I think coming off the back off covid is massive and I also think it's great to see the ABCs back last year, albeit without schools, but through the clubs. 

This year the schools should be back, and that is great. I think the fact that is happening on the 10th anniversary is a great return for the event."

There's a great buzz at the events and it's a whole hive of activity in the background that really brings people together."
