As proud sponsors of the Cadbury GAA Football U21 Championship, Cadbury are asking GAA supporters from all across Ireland to vote for the best 15 players at U21 grade from 2005-2010. To make the choice easier, Cadbury have listed all of the Cadbury ‘Heroes of the Match' from 2005 to 2010 on their dedicated football website www.cadburygaau21.com. Donegal fans are encouraged to support county stars Michael Murphy and Leo McLoone who are both included on the list
Commenting on the Cadbury 15, Shane Guest of Cadbury Ireland said; "This is Cadbury Ireland's sixth year as sponsor of the Cadbury GAA Football U21 Championship and we are delighted to be on board. To celebrate our six year involvement, we are happy to promote the Cadbury 15 selection and honour who the public believe to be the best 15 U21 players since the beginning of our sponsorship"
To help fans we have provided lists of the Cadbury ‘Heroes of the Match' for 2005 - 2010 on our website www.cadburygaau21.com.
