Challenge to help Kearney aid effort

WATERFORD face Cork in a senior hurling challenge with a difference on Bank Holiday Monday (6.30pm).

The game, in Ballyduff Upper, Waterford, is the final phase of a six-month fundraising campaign for hurler Pa Kearney, who sustained serious injuries in a car accident last October.

The 22-year-old corner forward, who represented Waterford at minor, U21 and senior, has undergone a number of operations and has spent time recuperating at the National Rehabilitation Institute in Dun Laoghaire.
