APPROXIMATELY 10,000 people gathered in Netwatch Cullen Park in Carlow on Monday evening to watch a star-studded renewal of the Hurling for Cancer Research match in aid of the Irish Cancer Society.

Heading into the match, you’d have likely had your money on a draw looking at the past form and with an each-way bet, certain bookmakers might have paid out with Jim Bolger’s Stars scraping by with a one-point victory over Davy Russell’s Best. Jim Bolger’s team scored 9-15 (42 points) to Davy’s 8-17 (41 points).
