Certa, Ireland's largest fuel supplier, is fuelling Cricket Ireland's ambition to develop women's cricket as a major sport in Ireland and to become a top nation in world cricket after becoming the title sponsor of the Ireland Women's cricket team. Laura Delany, the 30-year-old captain of the Ireland Women's cricket team, described it as a "first of its kind" initiative, allowing the team to train every day and live as professionals, a lifestyle previously unavailable to female cricket players in Ireland. In supporting the Ireland Women's cricket team, the nation has the opportunity to rally behind not only a team with immense potential on the global stage but also pioneers who are shaping the future of women's cricket in Ireland. Certa's ambition is to empower the team to continue pushing new boundaries and to perform competitively against the top nations in women's cricket. They are also working with Cricket Ireland to help the sport thrive from grassroots to elite level and to inspire young players to follow their dream of becoming professional cricket players in Ireland.
