SEVEN Limerick senior hurlers will line out in the Hurling for Cancer game which includes Dan Morrissey, Barry Nash, Declan Hannon, Kyle Hayes, Darragh O'Donovan, Tom Morrissey and Graeme Mulcahy. Former Limerick hurler Shane Dowling will also take part in the fundraiser.
Jim Bolger and Davy Russell have announced their teams for Hurling for Cancer Research which takes place in Netwatch Cullen Park in Carlow on Monday August 12 with gates opening at 5pm. The action gets underway at 7pm.
An array of stars from the world of racing, GAA and top sports personalities will be lacing-up their boots for the annual hurling extravaganza between the two teams with Wexford and Kilkenny legends Liam Griffin and Brian Cody acting as Bainisteoirí.
An all-star list of John Kiely, Mark Landers, Jimmy Barry Murphy, Paul Townend, Rachael Blackmore, Bernard Dunne, Cora Staunton, Ursula Jacob, Peter Canavan, Paul Nolan, Michael Darragh MacAuley, Michael Duignan and Joanne O’Riordan are among those stepping up to act as selectors, commentators, side-line officials, umpires and maor uisce.
For the first time, Hurling for Cancer Research will be broadcast on TG4 to a free-to-air audience to maximise coverage of this unique hurling match and help boost donations to the Irish Cancer Society’s vital research projects. Hurling for Cancer Research has raised an incredible €1.5m for cancer research.
Hurling for Cancer Research founder, Jim Bolger, said: “We have an unbelievable line-up of players not to mention our celebrity umpires, commentators, and sideline officials. It is a brilliant evening out for all the family and I think those in attendance are guaranteed a great evening."
To buy your individual (€10) or family (€20) ticket online or to donate to Hurling for Cancer Research and help support a great cause, please visit www.hurlingforcancer.ie
All funds from the sale of tickets and donations will go directly towards funding vital cancer research, bringing us closer to a future free from cancer.
There is ample free car parking at Netwatch Cullen Park.
