Johnson & Perrott Announces Sponsorship of Neptune Basketball Club Academy Programme

Johnson & Perrott is proud to announce its sponsorship of the academy programme at Neptune Basketball Club, supporting the ongoing development of young basketball players in Cork City.

As part of the partnership, representatives from Johnson & Perrott recently visited Neptune Basketball Stadium, where they had the opportunity to see first-hand the outstanding work being carried out across the club’s academy structure. The visit included time spent with volunteers, coaches, players and parents, all of whom play a vital role in the continued success of one of Ireland’s most respected basketball institutions.

Founded in 1947, Neptune Basketball Club has a long and proud history within Irish basketball, with a strong emphasis on youth development, community engagement and sporting excellence. Its academy programme provides a structured pathway for young players, promoting not only basketball skills but also teamwork, discipline and confidence both on and off the court.

Johnson & Perrott Managing Director of Motor Dealerships Paul O'Neill was present on the evening and spoke of the importance of supporting grassroots sport in the local community.

“Seeing the commitment and passion from everyone involved with Neptune — from the coaches and volunteers to the players and their families — really brings home the value of clubs like this,” he said. “We’re delighted to support the academy programme and to play a small part in helping young athletes develop in such a positive environment.”

The sponsorship reflects Johnson & Perrott’s continued commitment to supporting local communities across Cork, particularly initiatives that encourage youth participation, development and wellbeing through sport.

Neptune Basketball Club’s academy programme continues to grow year on year, providing opportunities for young players across multiple age groups and serving as a cornerstone of the club’s long-term vision for basketball in Cork.
