Local hacks set for headline display in charity GAA clash

Giants of Cork’s media scene — all legends in their own heads — are togging out for a special celebrity GAA match at Lord Mayor John Buttimer’s local club to help a leading cancer support group.

Mr Buttimer, who is undergoing treatment for Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, hopes the clash between the skilled hacks and a hopeful Bishopstown GAA club selection will raise much-needed cash for the Cork ARC Cancer Support House.

“Cork ARC provides a magnificent range of holistic services which greatly improve the quality of life of the cancer patient, while at the same time developing awareness and understanding of cancer in the broader community,” said Mr Buttimer.
