Cancer survivors up for the match

As D’Unbelievables satirised, going out there and enjoying it is something which many a GAA player has been implored to do since underage.

O’Moore Park in Portlaoise will host a game of football this Monday (3.30pm) where the taking part really is more important than the result, however, as the first Professor Hollywood Cup is played for.

All of the players will be cancer survivors as St Luke’s Hospital — managed by Brian Cody — take on Mick O’Dwyer’s St James’s, with a ladies’ football game between Mountmellick and Baltinglass preceding it.
