Stars from across the sporting world will descend on Netwatch Cullen Park this evening for the annual Hurling for Cancer Research.
Gates open from 5pm with pre-match entertainment and refreshments before the 7pm throw-in with KCLR and TG4 broadcasting the game live.
Monies raised through the sale of tickets and donations (more here) will all go directly to the Irish Cancer Society for research purposes.
Event founder Jim Bolger says; “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.”
While Irish Cancer Society CEO Averil Power, noted; “Every year, this event goes from strength to strength bringing the very best GAA stars, racing stars and sports personalities together to raise vital funds so that we at the Irish Cancer Society can continue our sustained investment in cancer research. Investment in innovative cancer research is essential so that we can continue to develop new medicines and new treatments. It is through that investment that we will turn today’s terminal cancers into tomorrow’s treatable and curable ones. Our investment in cancer research simply isn’t possible without events like Hurling for Cancer Research and the incredible generosity shown by all those who take part and support the event. We can’t thank the organisers and each and every volunteer enough.”
All are reminded to take extra care travelling through Carlow town with a plan in place for event parking;
