Torpey and UL GAA: A Perfect Fit

When you think of GAA at the university level, UL GAA is a name that stands out. It has long been a nurturing ground for future stars, with players from across Ireland donning the Wolves jersey. Tournaments like the Fitzgibbon Cup and Ashbourne Cup serve as showcases for emerging talent, intense competition and thrilling matches.

Our partnership with UL GAA is incredibly exciting because it merges our shared commitment to excellence in GAA sports. Torpey has always crafted high-quality hurleys that top players trust and by joining forces with UL, we’re ensuring the next generation of talent has the best tools available. With access to Torpey’s Bambú hurleys — lighter, stronger and more durable than traditional ash hurleys, UL’s athletes will gain a competitive edge in their training and competitions.

A Partnership Rooted in Tradition and Innovation

One of the most exciting aspects of the Torpey-UL partnership is how it blends tradition with innovation. Both Torpey and UL have a deep respect for the history and traditions of hurling and camogie, but we’re also committed to pushing the sport forward. Our Bambú hurleys embody this commitment, while UL continues to provide state-of-the-art facilities that rival those found in professional sports.

The Higher Education GAA competitions are vital not only for developing skills but also for showcasing future stars. Torpey’s partnership with UL GAA comes at a time when the University is continuously attracting top talent from all over Ireland. From Clare to Kilkenny, and Galway to Cork, players are flocking to UL for its excellent academic programs and its top-tier GAA setup. UL has produced numerous players who have gone on to represent their counties at the highest level. With our partnership, we aim to enhance this pipeline of talent, equipping students from all over Ireland with the tools they need to excel.
