✨ Centra launch 2026 All-Ireland GAA Senior Hurling Championship and competition to find Ireland’s next top sharpshooter    Centra, the longest-serving sponsor of the All-Ireland GAA Hurling Senior Championship, has officially launched the 2026 Senior Hurling Championship and the Centra GAA Sharpshooter Competition in partnership with Patrick Horgan, the all-time leading Championship points scorer. The launch event took place recently at St Vincent’s GAA Club in Dublin and was attended by some of the game’s most recognisable stars, including Brian Hayes (Cork), Noel McGrath (Tipperary), Paddy Deegan, (Kilkenny) and Conor Burke (Dublin). Having spearheaded the 2025 Sharpshooter competition, Patrick Horgan returns once again to launch the nationwide initiative designed to discover and nurture the next generation of hurling sharpshooters. Centra and Patrick “Pa” Horgan, who finished his career as the record Championship points scorer with a total of 32-683 (779), are calling on all children aged 8–12 to show their accuracy and skill by collecting a Sharpshooter target sticker in participating Centra stores, placing it on their local club’s ball wall, and uploading their content to the club’s social media page and tag @CentraIRL.   Winners will see a €1,000 prize for their local GAA club plus the opportunity for a team to play at the 2026 Hurling for Cancer Research Charity Match later this year. Having sponsored the All-Ireland GAA Hurling Senior Championship since 2010, Centra remains the longest-serving sponsor of the competition. The 2026 season marks another chapter in this enduring partnership, reinforcing Centra’s dedication to supporting hurling communities across Ireland.
