Dublin's senior footballers are next in action on November 15 (6pm) in a historic match which will take place at the home of Ulster Rugby Belfast's Kingspan Stadium, aimed at raising awareness of Motor Neurone Disease (MND).

Ulster GAA and Ulster Rugby have combined efforts in honour of former Antrim senior football captain Anto Finnegan, who was diagnosed with MND in 2012.

#GameForAnto will see Dublin face an All-star Ulster select team - managed by current Ulster boss Joe Kernan and former Donegal manager Brian McEniff - in support of Anto’s deterMND Trust.

Anto, who featured in the Antrim senior team for 10 years, and captained the county to its first All-Ireland success in 1999 (B Championship), revealed in August 2013 that he was suffering from MND, an announcement that was followed by a groundswell of public support.

The 41-year-old father of two said: “I am humbled by the gesture that Ulster GAA and Ulster Rugby have made to support my cause to raise awareness of Motor Neurone Disease; to make this game happen at Kingspan Stadium.

“It will be an historic occasion for many reasons and I am proud to be associated with it. It is testament to the respective sporting organisations, my friends and family, that this historic match will take place at the amazing venue that is home to Ulster Rugby.”
