Celebrities line up for classic

THE memory of Connacht rugby player and all-round sports fanatic Dr Joe Costello will be honoured on Friday when a galaxy of sporting stars gather at Galway Golf Club.

The third annual Joe Costello Memorial Celebrity golf classic boasts an impressive lineup of celebrities soccer greats, rugby World Cup winners, GAA giants, racing stars and one or two golf legends as well.

The 50 available tee-off times for three-man teams to join a celebrity guest and play in the outing in aid of Cancer Care West have long been sold out and it is easy to see why.
