Dublin's Intercounty hurling squads are taking on a huge challenge on May 16 to support Pieta.

250 players from all development, minor, U20 and senior squads on Saturday morning have a personal target to strike 2,000 shots in an hour, which will make a total of 500,000 between all the squads.

It is titled ‘Hurl for Hope’ and all funds go to Pieta.

Already nearly €9,000 has been raised and you can contribute here: https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/hurlforhope
