LIMERICK hurling manager TJ Ryan made a return to the playing field last night. The former Limerick star lined out in theย Jim Bolger’s Stars v Davy Russell’s Best – Irish Cancer Society’s Hurling for Cancer Research 2015
Irelandโs GAA and Horse Racing โAll Starsโ got their hurleys out for cancer research on Tuesday night at Saint Conlethโs Park, Newbridge, Kildare for a celebrity hurling match in aid of the Irish Cancer Society to raise money for cancer research.
The event, which was organised by horseracing legend Jim Bolger, along with champion jockey Davy Russell, saw a host of Irish hurling and horse racing stars come together for a fantastic game, which also boasted celebrity referees, lineswomen and umpires – who included DJ Carey, Brian Cody, Liam Griffin, Niall Quinn and Cyril Farrell – to name but a few.
The final score last night was: Jim Bolgerโs Stars 3:25, Davy Russellโs Best 3:15. A win for the second year in a row for Jim Bolgerโs Stars after two years of draws.
Half time saw two of hurlingโs best goalies go head to head in a penalty shoot-out much to the delight of the crowd on the night. Wexfordโs Damien Fitzhenry ably represented Jim Bolgerโs Stars and Clareโs Davy Fitzgerald played fiercely for Davy Russellโs Best โ the action resulted in a draw seeing both men evenly matched on the night.
