A BIG effort has gone into collecting some covetable lots for this year’s Hurling For Cancer Research fund raising as unfortunately the annual usually hotly contested match between the superstars of Jim Bolger’s team vs Davy Russell’s team cannot take place.

A 2021 Grand National racecard signed by Rachael Blackmore, yard visits with Johnny Murtagh and Henry de Bromhead, a signed Dublin football jersey, race-day experiences at Leopardstown and the Curragh and luxury overnight stays at Lyrath Estate Hotel & Spa and Mount Juliet are among the amazing items announced as part of Hurling For Cancer Research’s online auction in aid of the Irish Cancer Society.
