The Hurling For Cancer game returns this year with a stellar line-up all in the name of Irish Cancer Research.
The event, which has been organised for the seventh year in a row by horse-racing legend Jim Bolger and Irish champion jockey Davy Russell, sees a host of Irish hurling and horse racing stars come together for what promises to be another great occasion in St. Conleth’s Park.
The game can be watched below with this year’s event made up of a mix of GAA and horse-racing stars. They include Wexford All-Ireland winning manager Liam Griffin, Kilkenny manager Brian Cody, jockey Kevin Manning, and horse-racing legend Rich Ricci. James Dowling an amateur jockey at Bolger’s yard, is one of only a few men to win an All Ireland medal and win a horse race.
Davy’s team were victorious in last year’s game so Jim will be looking for some revenge in this year’s contest to get his team past the winning post once again. Jim Bolger’s stars have come out on top three times, while Davy Russell’s Best tasted victory last year, with the other two years ending in draws.
