ANOTHER popular sporting highlight has been affected by the restrictions imposed by Covid-19. But Hurling For Cancer Research, the annual charity hurling match between a host of racing, GAA, sports stars and TV personalities, is going virtual for 2020.

Instead of Jim Bolger’s and Davy Russell’s teams lining out in St Conleth’s Park on Tuesday, August 11th, a generous smattering of stars will take part in a virtual hurling skills challenge to raise funds for the Irish Cancer Society’s cancer research.
