The annual Hurling for Cancer Research event will take place in a new venue in 2023.
Traditionally held in Newbridge, the important fundraiser has made the move to Netwatch Cullen Park in Carlow for 2023 due to the planned refurbishment of St Conleth’s Park.
The unique hurling match will take place on Monday, August 21st at 6 pm and promises to be the biggest game yet.
The event, organised annually by leading trainer Jim Bolger and former champion jockey Davy Russell, allows sports fans to rub shoulders with household names from the world of horse racing, GAA, soccer and boxing along with a host of celebrities.
Hurling for Cancer Research has raised over €1.3 million to date providing funds that provide hope for cancer patients by enabling life changing research, which improves outcomes for cancer patients and increases the amount cancer trials taking place in Ireland.
“We are most grateful to the Carlow County Board for stepping up at short notice to provide a fitting replacement for St Conleth’s Park,” said Bolger.
“The Hurling For Cancer Research team are excited to work with Jim Bolger and his fellow board members to bring a new audience to Netwatch Cullen Park this August. With two Jim Bolgers involved, a bumper evening is guaranteed! I would like to wish St Conelth’s Park all the best on their refurbishment project.”
