Allianz League finalists Cork will meet Kilkenny in a SH challenge at Pairc Ui Rinn next Saturday at 7pm.
The match is a fundraiser for 22-year-old Cork dual star Jamie Wall, who has been left paralysed from the waist down after suffering from an epidural abscess on his spine last year. The Kilbrittain clubman undergoes regular rehab therapies in Beamont Hospital and the National Rehab Hospital in Dun Laoghaire.
"On July 2010, I won my first Munster (minor) championship. On August 9 2014, I watched from a wheelchair as my team-mates won my first All-Ireland," he told the Irish Daily Star.
Tickets for the 'Friends of Jamie Wall' fundraiser cost €10 for an adult and €5 for U16s. They can be pre-purchased from SuperValu and Centra stores across Munster or on tickets.ie. Tickets will also be available on the night of the game.
