Community plea to back charity game

Politicians, sports stars set to pitch in for NagarHope

I PAUL HOSFORD

THE Lucan community is being called on to support the NagarHope charity this Sunday, when a host of stars line out for a special Gaelic football/hurling game in Lucan Sarsfields at the 12th Lock. Stars of sport and politics

will be involved, with former Ireland manager, Brian Kerr; Dublin star, Paul Casey; Fine Gael Deputy, Derek Keating, and former Green Party TD, and Celebrity Banisteoir runner-up, Paul Gogarty, all set to be involved. The charity, which was founded and run by local

man, Fachtna “Doc” Clandillon, helps children in rural Nepal, one of the poorest areas on the planet. The game is set to throw-in at 2.30pm, and admission is free, though there will be collections on the day. Full Story on Page 6
