Kerry football captain Paudie Clifford is to take up hurling – for a good cause.
A host of well-known names are set to line-out for the Hurling for Cancer Research match in Carlow on August 12.
The annual event was set up in 2011 by leading racehorse trainer Jim Bolger with Dancing with the Stars champion jockey Davy Russell, and typically sees hurling heroes tog out with counterparts from other sporting arenas for a fundraising game in aid of the Irish Cancer Society.
Clifford will join a host of stars comprising Kilkenny hurler TJ Reid, Aintree Grand National winning jockey Rachael Blackmore, football stars Con O’Callaghan and Ciarán Kilkenny (Dublin) as well as GAA pundits Ursula Jacob and Cora Staunton.
Jim Bolger said: “Once again, we have unbelievable support from so many racing, hurling and football, and leading sports personalities for the 2024 renewal of Hurling for Cancer Research. It has become a very competitive game which is a testament to everyone who has supported the match over the years, on and off the pitch.”
