Huge crowds turned out on Monday evening to Netwatch Dr Cullen Park in Carlow for the big Hurling for Cancer Research match which saw everyone from Willie Mullins doing umpire to Limerick senior manager John Kiely and Kilkenny legend, Brian Cody, talking amongst themselves.
It was an incredible spectacle and here are some of the pictures from the event.
An array of stars from the world of racing, GAA and top sports personalities laced-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, Shane Long, 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 were among those to step up to play or act as selectors, commentators, side-line officials, umpires and maor uisce.
For the first time, Hurling for Cancer Research was 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.
To date, Hurling for Cancer Research has raised an incredible €1.5m for cancer research.
