The County Arms Hotel in Birr is the place to be tomorrow night (Thursday) for Birr GAA’s ‘Reeling in the Hurling Years’ fundraising event (throw-in at 7.30pm).

Among the stellar line-up of guests are hurling legends Eddie Brennan, Anthony Daly, Liam Griffin and Dan Shanahan, sporting icons Barry Geraghty and Mickey Harte as well as local hurling heroes Brian Whelahan and Johnny Pilkington.

MC is RTÉ's Darragh Maloney for what promises to be a night to remember. The star-studded panel will go through their glittering careers and regale the audience with untold stories from the past that will leave all hurling fans, and sports fans alike, on the edge of their seats.

There will also be a special edition of 'A Question of Sport' on a night that cannot be missed. Tickets (€20 each) are on sale through Eventbrite (more info is also available on Birr GAA's social media channels) with all funds raised going towards the Birr GAA Mayoral Campaign of Brian 'Snowball' Stephens.

Having received a €150,000 grant as part of the 2022 Sports Capital Grants, Birr GAA are planning to cement the club's future with major developments set to follow after the completion of the Mayoral Campaign at the end of October.

A 40-metre ball wall, an astro turf area (40m×20m) and an on-site gym for players to develop strength and conditioning are all in the pipeline, and the club looks forward to seeing you all for 'Reeling in the Hurling Years' with a special night in store!
