The annual Hurling for Cancer Research game will be shown live from Netwatch Cullen Park on TG4 this evening (Monday) from 7.15pm.

In a lovely touch, every member of the television production crew working on the TG4 coverage will give their time free of charge on the day, including production company Fogarty Fenwick: Television Production.

All proceeds from the Centra-backed event will support the Irish Cancer Society and the life-saving research they do. Launched in 2012 by horse racing legends Jim Bolger and Davy Russell, Hurling for Cancer Research is an annual fundraiser gathering an array of incredible sportspeople, past and present, and celebrities to raise money for the Irish Cancer Society. The event has raised €2 million to date.

Among those taking part are Patrick Horgan, Ashling Thompson, TJ Reid, Jackie Tyrrell, Tommy Walsh, Walter Walsh, Grace Walsh, Darragh O’Donovan, Brian Hayes, Lee Chin, Joe Canning and Austin Gleeson.

The game will also feature Dublin football ace Con O'Callaghan, former Mayo footballer Conor Mortimer and Republic of Ireland soccer international Stephen Hunt.

Tickets, costing €10 per adult and €5 per child, are available to purchase on www.hurlingforcancer.ie
