Mickey Harte joins hurling legends for Birr event

Legendary football manager Mickey Harte and retired jockey Barry Geraghty will line up with some 'small ball' legends for Birr GAA's 'Reeling in the Hurling Years' event next week.

Spend a night in the company of hurling legends like Anthony Daly, Eddie Brennan and Dan Shanahan – as well as sporting icons like Barry Geraghty and Mickey Harte – as Birr GAA Club presents 'Reeling in the Hurling Years' on Thursday, October 13 in the County Arms Hotel (throw-in at 7.30pm).

MC on the night is RTÉ's Darragh Maloney, and it promises to be a night to remember. The star-studded panel will go through their glittering careers and regale the audience with untold stories from the past that will leave all hurling fans, and sports fans alike, on the edge of their seats.

There will also be a special edition of 'A Question of Sport' on a night that cannot be missed. Tickets (€20 each) are on sale through Eventbrite (more info is also available on Birr GAA's social media channels) with all funds raised going towards the Birr GAA Mayoral Campaign of Brian 'Snowball' Stephens.

Having received a sizeable €150,000 grant as part of the 2022 Sports Capital Grants, Birr GAA are planning to cement the club's future with major developments set to follow after the completion of the Mayoral Campaign at the end of October.

A 40-metre ball wall, an astro turf area (40m×20m) and an on-site gym for players to develop strength and conditioning are all in the pipeline and the club looks forward to seeing you all for 'Reeling in the Hurling Years' with a special night in store!
