Damien Fitzhenry’s reaction to unreal penalty save at Hurling for Cancer classic was typically fiery

St Conleth's park was absolutely hopping.

The sixth annual 'Hurling for Cancer' game took place in Newbridge on Wednesday night as hurling, camogie and soccer legends past and present pitted their skills against one another under the stewardship of horseracing's top personalities. Quite a combination. The game originated from the efforts of flat-racing trainer, the Kilkenny based Jim Bolger and National Hunt jockey Davy Russell. Up until last night, they had raised over €600'000 for the charity. The games began at 6:30 in the Kildare grounds and the atmosphere looked to have been electric, with Irish football legend Paul McGrath amongst the 3'800 spectators watching former internationals Niall Quinn and Stephen Hunt in action. https://twitter.com/Paulmcgrath5/status/897551750252470272 There was a litany of stars on both teams from Lee Chin, to Charlie Carter to Ursula Jacob and player manager Davy Russell. https://twitter.com/oulartbcamogie/status/897436873760624641 As it turned out, Jim Bolger's boys edged out Russell's army in what was a high scoring thriller dominated by attacking class, and some defensive mishaps from both sides. https://twitter.com/Hurling4cancer/status/897553352518717440 They were helped along the way by some heroics from Wexford legend Damien Fitzhenry who demonstrated that class really is permanent with a brilliant penalty save, which was followed up by a typically fiery Fitzhenry clearance. https://twitter.com/sarahagavin/status/897525897611423744 There were two famous umpires by Fitzhenry's side as he performed his heroics, in Ireland's most successful National Hunt owner and trainer combination in Rich Ricci and Willie Mullins. https://twitter.com/stephsearle90/status/897561641704988672 It's a great occasion with a great cause.
