‘Kieran was a tower of strength on the field for many years’ - Tracey Kennedy

Details of the Cork County Board’s fundraising match for Kieran O’Connor were confirmed today — Cork hurlers will face Kilkenny in Páirc uí Rinn on Wednesday, March 27th at 7.30pm, with tickets priced at €10 (adults) and €5 (concessions).

Announcing the fixture, Cork GAA chairperson Tracey Kennedy paid tribute to the work already done by the Friends of Kieran campaign, which has been raising money for the All-Ireland winner, who is battling Ewing’s Sarcoma, a rare form of cancer.
