IT is understood that Tyrone GAA's partnership with main sponsors McAleer and Rushe has come to an end.

The Irish News understands that Ballygawley-based manufacturers Tyrone Fabrication will be announced as the new title sponsors.

Tyrone Fabrication are a leading company who specialise in producing a wide range of advanced steel equipment enclosures for the transportation, communications and power supply industries.

Their website says they ``are able to work on everything from single, bespoke designs to multinational network systems.

``Established in 1992, Tyrone Fabrication is a rapidly expanding provider of complete turnkey enclosure solutions.''

In December 2014, McAleer and Rushe agreed a two-year title sponsorship deal and extended it to a third year last November.

During that time, Tyrone won two Ulster Senior titles, All-Ireland’s at U21 and U17 level as well as Division Two of the National League.

The county has had a number of sponsors since their long-term association with WJ Dolan, who replaced Powerscreen, ended in 2004.

Rocwell, owned by the Quinn family, were next to strike a deal and were the sponsors for the county’s All-Ireland successes in both 2005 and 2008.

Target Express came on board in May 2010 but opted not to renew their deal after the 2012 season.

Hunky Dory’s then agreed a two-year deal for the 2013 and ’14 seasons but opted against an optional third year, paving the way for McAleer and Rushe’s involvement.
