GAA and Rugby come together to tackle Motor Neurone Disease (MND)

Kingspan Stadium to host historic GameForAnto

An historic GAA match will take place at the home of Ulster Rugby on November 15, aimed at raising awareness of Motor Neurone Disease (MND).

Antrim and Ulster GAA along with Ulster Rugby have combined efforts in honour of former Antrim senior football captain Anto Finnegan, who was diagnosed with MND in 2012. Anto played with Antrim for 11 years and was Captain on two occasions, most notably in 1999/2000 when they won their first football All-Ireland (B Championship) and defeated Down in the championship, a first win in 18 years.

Anto, revealed in August 2013 that he was suffering from MND, a degenerative neurological disorder, an announcement that was followed by a groundswell of public support.

GameForAnto will see 2013 All-Ireland champions Dublin face the Irish News Ulster All-Star team - managed by current Ulster boss Joe Kernan and former Donegal manager Brian McEniff.

Tickets for the GameForAnto are available to purchase online via www.Ticketmaster.ie
