Hurling for Gaza event in aid of Gaza Paediatric Care Initiative

A hurling and social fundraiser in aid of the Gaza Paediatric Care Initiative (GPCI) is to take place in Corrigan Park in west Belfast, organised by Gaels against Genocide in Gaza.

The event will begin with an accomplished Rest of Ireland Select taking on a star-studded Ulster Select on Saturday, November 16, at 2pm. It will be followed by a social function in St John’s GAC clubrooms from 4.30pm to 7.30pm.  

Managed by Louis Mulqueen, of Clare 2013 All-Ireland and 2016 National League success, the Rest of Ireland team features hurling legends Lee Chin, Aidan McCarthy, Cathal Barrett, Danny Sutcliffe and Conor McDonald.

Antrim manager Davy Fitzgerald, who won the All-Ireland as both player and manager, will oversee the Ulster side. Saffrons Gerard Walsh, Keelan Molloy, Niall McKenna, Conor Bohill, and James Mc Naughton will feature alongside hurlers from Down, Derry, Donegal, Fermanagh, Tyrone and Armagh.

All proceeds from the day will go to GPCI - a group of paediatric healthcare workers who have been working for months to bring injured Palestinian children to Ireland for treatment.

Match tickets cost £10 for adults and children under 16 accompanied by an adult are free. Entrance to the social function is free but the organisers are asking people to purchase tickets for the raffle which will take place on the day. 

Tickets can be bought or a donation made online here.

Patrons can also pay or make a donation at the turnstile.
