Cuchullains are delighted that Pearse Park has been chosen to for the media launch of the 2011 All Ireland Senior Hurling Championship on the 11th May.

Uachtarán Chumann Lúthchleas Gael Criostóir Ó Cuana will be making a second visit to the club having officially opened The Sports Academy in July 2010.

A club spokesperson said “it is a fitting tribute to our members, past and present, who have strived so hard to provide facilities to attract more people to our games” He added, “many clubs in Antrim could have been chosen as the standard of club grounds in Antrim is second to none”

This is the second year that the launch has been held outside Croke Park. Ballyboden and Tralee were last year’s hosts.

St Finbarr’s will host the 2011 football launch on the 4th May.
