Ireland’s oldest bakery, Johnston Mooney & O’Brien have renewed their sponsorship deal with Cricket Ireland which will see the Irish-owned company continuing as official baked goods supplier to Irish Cricket for a further two years.
The company began their association with Irish cricket following Ireland’s epic 2011 World Cup win against England in Bangalore. Their catchy campaign featuring namesake players from the team ran the slogan, “England toasted by Johnston, Mooney and O’Brien!” The trio featured prominently in securing the win, not least Kevin O’Brien who broke the World Cup record for the quickest century.

“Johnston, Mooney and O’Brien initially got involved because of the heroic efforts of the players against England. We are extremely pleased to have them stay on as sponsor past Trent Johnson’s retirement, highlighting a belief in the Cricket Ireland story and the growing number of fans and players alike. It is great to have the support of an Irish company like Johnston Mooney & O’Brien, who share as rich a tradition and heritage in this country as Irish cricket.”’ said Cricket Ireland Head of Commercial, Dennis Cousins.

Johnston, Mooney and O’Brien Managing Director John Rooney added: ‘’We are delighted to renew our sponsorship support of Cricket Ireland for the next two years. We wish them continued success at this year’s ICC World Twenty20 in Bangladesh and are excited about the build up to the 2015 World Cup In Australia and New Zealand.”

It’s a busy time for Ireland’s cricketers with the women recently in Qatar playing in an international tri-series with South Africa and Pakistan ahead of their first ever ICC World Twenty20 in March. The men are about to embark on a month long tour of the West Indies, followed by the ICC World Twenty20, and of course 2015 sees Ireland play in their third consecutive World Cup in Australia and New Zealand.
