Footballers dig deep for charity
The Cork players took part in fights of three one-minute rounds with eight fights involving Cork players in combat again each other. Four players – defenders Noel O’Leary and Michael Shields, midfielder Nicholas Murphy and attacker Pearse O’Neill – fought against members of CIT and Rylane Boxing Clubs.
“Overall it’s been a great experience for us,” remarked Canty. “There’s a huge crowd here to support it and business people have supported us as well. There’s not too much cash around at the moment but we’ve still received great support. So many people have wanted to get behind us and this great charity in Breaking The Silence. As much as we’ve enjoyed it, what’s really important is that we’ve raised a lot of money for them.
