We are extremely proud to announce that PV Generation is now the main sponsor of UCC Blue Demons Super League, one of Ireland’s most storied and successful basketball clubs.

This partnership marks a new and exciting chapter for us, not just as a company invested in the future of sustainable, renewable energy, but also as an active support of community-driven sport.

UCC Blue Demons are more than just a basketball team. They are a symbol of Cork’s passion, resilience and ambition. From grassroots programmes to national titles, the club has spent almost six decades building a legacy that inspires players, fans, and families not just in Cork, but across Ireland and Globally. Regularly recruiting star athletes from USA and Canada.

Together, we aim to support the growth of basketball in Cork, celebrate the achievements of this incredible club, and contribute to a legacy of both sporting and social success.

About UCC Blue Demons

Based in Cork’s Mardyke Area, UCC Blue Demons was founded in 1966 and has since become one of the most successful basketball clubs in the country.

With nine league titles and eight National Cups, they capture the spirit of Irish basketball. Their most recent triumph at the Domino’s Men’s Super League Championship, catapulted them into the record books as Ireland’s current league champions.

Why We’re Sponsoring the Demons

Our decision to partner with the Blue Demons reflects shared values: community, excellence, and nurturing talent. The club’s commitment to its juvenile pathways, which have produced generations of talented players, we believe in investing in long-term potential.

What the Sponsorship Will Support

This sponsorship is more than just a logo on a jersey. It’s a long-term investment in the future of basketball in Cork.

One key element of this partnership is our commitment to supporting youth development within UCC Blue Demons. The club has a proud tradition of nurturing talent from an early age, with a youth system that feeds int their academy and senior teams.

By supporting coaching, equipment, and training programmes, we aim to help develop the next generation of players, giving young athletes the opportunity to learn, grow, and reach their full potential within a supportive and ambitious environment.

We’re also proud to contribute to the improvement of facilities and resources at the Mardyke Arena. A strong home court not only benefits the senior team, but also provides a central hub for youth development, community training sessions, and wider club activities.

This support will help enhance the experience for payers and fans alike, through better infrastructure, equipment, and potential upgrades that benefits everyone who walks through the doors of Mardyke Arena.

We believe in partnerships that go beyond the court, and we’re excited to collaborate on events and initiatives that bring people together, inspire young athletes, and celebrate Cork’s incredible basketball culture.
