Waterford and Kilkenny line up for cancer benefit

ARCH rivals Waterford and Kilkenny will do battle in a senior hurling challenge, which will net significant funds for a very worthy cancer appeal.

The powerful Déise men take on the mighty Cats at Walsh Park in Waterford to raise funds for the South East Cancer Foundation (SECF). The charity has embarked on its most ambitious fund-raising drive ever and needs to raise €1 million for a specialist cancer centre.

One of the May 18 match organisers, Waterford GAA county secretary John O’Leary, says the game which throws in at 7pm, is bound to attract a big crowd, given that Waterford take on Clare in the Championship just two weeks later.
