Huge crowds turned out on Monday night as Hurling for Cancer Research returned to Netwatch Cullen Park, Carlow, for its 14th edition with everyone from John Kiely to Liam Cahill at the star-studded match.
It was an incredible spectacle and here are some of the pictures from the event.
Among those taking part were Kilkenny's TJ Reid, Cork's Patrick Horgan, Tipperary's Noel McGrath and Darragh McCarthy, Wexford's Lee Chin, Clare's Peter Duggan, Dublin footballer Con O'Callaghan and many more.
Off the field, legends like Brian Cody, Liam Cahill, John Kiely and Liam Griffin were calling the shots from the sidelines while horse racing legend Rachael Blackmore acted as umpire.
Founded by horse racing legend Jim Bolger and jockey Davy Russell, the charity match has become one of the most anticipated fixtures in the sporting calendar - raising over €1.66 million for the Irish Cancer Society to date, with hopes of smashing the €2 million milestone this year.
The unique clash sees rivals unite for one night only, with past line-ups featuring All-Ireland hurling heroes, racing champions, Olympians, and even a few famous Irish faces from outside the sporting world.
The event was also shown on TG4 on Monday evening.
