Intersports Elverys’ Jimmy Staunton said: “Intersport Elverys are delighted to partner with Sligo Rovers FC.

“It offers a fantastic opportunity that fits into our already diverse portfolio, which includes partnerships with the FAI, IRFU, Connacht Rugby, Mayo GAA, Dublin GAA and Longford Town FC to name just a few.”

Sligo Rovers Chief Executive added: “It has been very pleasing to see the popularity of club merchandise grow and the satisfaction of our supporters.

“While we’ve seen that growth, one aspect missing was a permanent retail outlet for the club in Sligo and in Intersport Elverys we have found the ideal partner. They will provide us with all the elements we seek through their excellent store in Sligo.

“I hope all our fans enjoy the new JOMA Sport range. Every season we are seeing more and more Sligo Rovers merchandise being purchased at home and all over the world. This new partnership with Intersport Elverys will help maximise that potential further.”

Henry St: An Entirely New Intersport Elverys Experience

New store, new staff and an entirely new Elverys Intersport experience.

Opening a new store will always be cause for excitement, and when that store is going to be a company-first, state-of-the-art shopping experience, that excitement sky-rockets. Henry Street is going to revolutionise the sports offering on Dublin’s North Side and our team could not be more eager to hit the ground running. We decided to talk to some of our new team and find out what they are most excited for, what sports they play and what they can bring to the table in terms of knowledge, experience and brand enthusiasm.

 

Sinead Quinn and Shane Gore: Our Football Experts

 

What advice would you give to someone just starting out?

Sinead:  Train as much as possible and workout every day to keep on top of your fitness.

Shane: The best advice I could give would be to listen to your coaches, improve your skills through the drills and information you learn in training. Most of all, enjoy yourself!

 

If you had to wear one brand for the rest of your life, what would it be?

Sinead: Nike- They are a fashionable brand and leaders in sports, running and training clothing.

Shane: Nike

 

What are you most looking forward to in Henry Street?

Sinead:  I’m most looking forward to the new technology in store and working with a great, new team.

Shane: I am most looking forward to working in one of Dublin’s busiest shopping streets and being able to deliver amazing customer service with an excellent team.

 

David Mongey: The Gaelic Football Go-To

What advice would you give to someone just starting out?

David: Start with the basics. Learn how to pick up, bounce and solo the ball correctly. When these are mastered, move on to the more difficult skills of kicking, handpassing and fielding the ball. Try to watch as much of the sport as possible and pick-up skills from that.

 

What are you most looking forward to in Henry Street?

David: The Nike football boot wall! It is supposed to be one-of-a-kind and I am looking forward to seeing it in person.

 

If you had to wear one brand for the rest of your life, what would it be?

David: Adidas

 

The Golf Guru: Sarah Lacey

What advice would you give to someone just starting out?

Sarah: You will only play good golf, if you are in a good mood, so just go out there and have some fun!

 

If you had to wear one brand for the rest of your life, what would it be?

Sarah: Nike

 

Niamh O’Brien & Sarah Mahoney: The Gym Fitness Fans

What advice would you give to someone just starting out?

 

Niamh: Always push yourself and your limits, it’s all worth it in the end, for a better you.

Sarah: Starting off in the gym can be daunting and I was quite nervous that all the more experienced people would be judging me. Having a personal trainer gave me confidence to go to the gym and feel l knew what I was doing, so I’d recommend a session or two with a professional so you can be confident and so you don’t injure yourself.

 

If you had to wear one brand for the rest of your life, what would it be?

Niamh: Under Armour all the way! I don’t think there is another brand out there that is as comfortable, well fitting and stylish.

Sarah: In terms of sports brands, I would struggle to pick between Nike and Adidas as I love them both for different reasons. However, I would probably choose Nike at this current moment.

What are you most looking forward to in Henry Street?

Niamh: I’m most looking forward to the new experience, starting a fresh new project with a great team.

Sarah: I’m looking forward to seeing the new layouts and ideas Elverys have for a new more modern store. I am also looking forward to seeing the wide range of Nike stock we will have, with them being our biggest brand in the store and Nike being my current favourite!

 

Sean Carey: A head for Hurling

What advice would you give to someone just starting out?

Sean: Be very confident in your ability.

What are you most looking forward to in Henry Street?

Sean: I am most looking forward to working with a great team.

If you had to wear one brand for the rest of your life, what would it be?

Sean: Under Armour

 

Be sure to check out the new state-of-the-art store, opening on Henry St on Monday, 11th Sept.
