Volunteers from Ballinhassig GAA club will walk 170 kilometres to Thurles ahead of their game in Tipperary.

The idea cooked up by a club stalwart Pascal Ryan will begin on Sunday the 28th of August. He recalled how Cork people would often walk and cycle to Thurles for Munster finals.

Each evening the club will play a game against each club on their route in an effort to connect communities.

Their route is as follows:

Day 1: Ballinhassig to Sarsfields

Day 2: Sarsfields to Bride Rovers

Day 3: Sarsfields to Glanworth

Day 4: Glanworth to Ballylanders

Day 5: Ballylanders to Cahir

Day 6: Cahir to Cashel

Day 7: Cashel to Thurles & on to Moyne Templetouhey

Volunteers are walking part (or all!) of the 170km journey from Ballinhassig to Tipp. If a full leg doesn’t suit, people are welcome to walk part of a leg.

People interested in volunteering can contact Emma 087-9983165 Evelyn 086-2855891 or Susan 086-2571572.

The online sales website is now live. It’s now even easier to get your tickets to be in with a chance of winning a brand new Seat Ibiza. Visit winaseatibiza.com
