Fethard Town Park is set for a memorable evening next Saturday when the 2025 All-Ireland hurling and football winners line out for the first ever Champions Under Lights fundraiser in support of the Dillon Quirke Foundation.

The action begins at 4.00pm, with Tipperary’s senior footballers facing All-Ireland champions Kerry. At 6.00pm, the spotlight shifts to the hurling field as reigning champions Tipperary meet familiar rivals Limerick.
The event is dedicated to the memory of Dillon Quirke, who tragically passed away in 2022 after collapsing during a match. Proceeds will help raise awareness of sudden adult death syndrome (SADS) and contribute to ongoing cardiac screening for young athletes between the ages of 13 and 17.
Backed by Clonmel Credit Union, the evening aims to blend top-level sport with a strong community spirit. Families can enjoy a festival-like atmosphere, with opportunities to support a cause that has already made a meaningful difference in promoting heart health across Irish sport.
Supporters will also get the chance to browse a pop-up shop featuring Dillon Quirke Foundation county jerseys, pick up a souvenir match programme, and view the Liam MacCarthy and Sam Maguire Cups.
Gates open at 1.30pm, with speeches scheduled from 3.30pm ahead of the throw-ins.
Tickets must be purchased online in advance to help manage attendance. Prices are set at €50 for a family ticket (two adults and two children), €25 for adults, and €5 for children under 14, who must be accompanied by an adult.
Tickets available through Eventbrite.
