Community Fundraiser with Cancer Focus NI, Eoin Treanor, has led the call for Gaels to register their interest in the 24-hour game:

Applications to play in the game close on Monday December 14th.
The game that is being hosted in partnership with O’Neill’s International Sports will feature rest breaks every hour and rolling subs, but each team will only have six substitutes.
It'll be 15 on 15 and they will play over the course of 24 full hours.
Male players are require, aged 18 years and older.
Mickey Harte is already signed up to help both teams reach the full slog but this really is going to be a marathon effort.
