Top jockeys and GAA stars from around the country will be lining out for the most unique hurling fixture of the year, Hurling for Cancer Research, on Tuesday, August 14th.

For the seventh year in a row, legendary racehorse trainer Jim Bolger and three-time National Hunt Champion jockey Davy Russell, will bring sporting names together to take part the celebrity hurling match in aid of the Irish Cancer Society.

Jockeys will be picking up a hurl to challenge all-star medallists on the pitch, with household names such as Davy Fitzgerald, Niall Quinn, Brian Cody, Anna Geary, Kevin Manning, Tommy Walsh and Ursula Jacob all set to take part.
