The club announced this week that instead of putting a sponsor's logo on its jersey for the 2020 season, it is instead carrying the message "the south-east needs 24/7 cardiac care".
Waterford FC will showcase their jersey in action for the first time in this Friday night’s home game against Bohemians, following a special launch event for supporters and sponsors this evening. "We said, look, we’re going to take a different direction this year and we’re going to do a bit of goodwill and the cardiac campaign took our eye," he said.
"The message is clear and we're only sticking with the message, there’s no politics or anything around it. We just want to raise awareness and that’s all we’re there to do, not cause any grief or any trouble." The jersey move has been backed by the 24/7 Cardiac Care Campaign, with Willie Doyle of that group speaking out in favour.
She is "in good form" today, Mr Doyle said, with a pacemaker fitted, but it could have been a different story.
