Salthill Devon have announced that The Dough Bros have come on board as kit sponsors for the five adult men’s teams, ladies’ team and the Nipper Academy.
The Dough Bros have been awarded the ‘Best Pizza in Ireland’ accolade two years running and are now ranked as the 15th best pizzeria in the world.
The rise of the business started by brothers Eugene and Ronan Greaney has been meteoric and in just over ten years they have moved on from a food truck to a pop up shop to a bricks and mortar restaurant in Galway city.
This of course did not happen by accident but by dint of hard work and very savvy promotional skills.
At the official launch in Drom, Salthill Devon Chairman Ollie Daniels said: “Getting The Dough Bros on board as sponsors with the adults and the nippers — bookending the club, as it were — is fantastic for us.”
“Eugene and Ronan have been outstanding players for Salthill Devon and are indeed still playing with our first division squad. For us in the club it’s a partnership of likeminded quality organisations.”
Ronan Greaney said that as local lads who had played for the club from the age of five, through all the various levels and age groups, it gave them immense pride to come on board as one of Salthill Devon FC’s main sponsors. “We share the club’s passion to develop people both on and off the pitch,” he said.
His brother Eugene said that The Dough Bros and Salthill Devon shared many core values, such as the importance of community, togetherness, resilience, passion and vision.
“The club has had an amazing history but it’s the future that we’re most excited about, and The Dough Bros wants to be a part of that.
“We see this as not just a sponsorship, but more of a strategic partnership, where we can help the club grow in an exciting way while also exposing The Dough Bros brand and sub-brand to a very large and growing demographic. It’s hugely exciting and long may it continue.”
