Star-studded teams named for Hurling for Cancer 2023
August 21, 2023
Three-time champion jockey Davy Russell and back-to-back Aintree Grand National winner Tiger Roll launch the Cúl Sliotars vintage GAA jersey collection for Hurling for Cancer Research.
A big crowd is expected to descend on Netwatch Cullen Park for the annual Hurling for Cancer match this evening (throw-in 6pm).
Jim Bolger and Davy Russell – who are big names in the world of horseracing – have announced star-studded teams for the charity event which has a new home this year due to the unavailability of St Conleth’s Park in Newbridge, which is undergoing redevelopment works.
The two teams will be led by Wexford and Kilkenny legends Liam Griffin and Brian Cody, and feature a galaxy of racing, sports and TV stars, including David and Paudie Clifford, Rachael Blackmore, Ursula Jacob, Paul McGrath, Miriam O'Callaghan, Michael Duignan, Kevin Manning, Willie McCreery, Barry Geraghty, Marty Morrissey and Joanne O'Riordan who are among those set to lend a hand as selectors, commentators, sideline officials, umpires and maor uisce.
Tickets costing €10 for adults and €15 for families are currently on sale at www.HurlingForCancer.ie. Tickets will also be on sale at the gate on the night and car parking at Netwatch Cullen Park will be free.
