Antrim Senior Hurlers will try their hand at a different sport next month - and you are invited to join in.

Players will swap their hurley sticks for golf clubs when they host the 2019 Golf Classic at Galgrom Castle GC.

The big event is taking place on Friday, April 26.

"We would love to welcome players and supporters from all around Antrim, Ulster and Ireland to come along," said a spokesperson.

"They can enjoy a round of golf, and there will be entry to win many great prizes, and a meal afterwards in the brand new Castle Kitchen & Bar."

Barrie McGoldrick, the PGA professional at Galgorm Castle Golf Club, joined senior hurlers Ronan Molloy (Dunloy), Conor McCann (Creggan), Paddy Burke (Cushendall) and Conor McHugh (Cushendun) for the event launch.

Barrie is a Down native originally and played underage hurling for Ballycran but now resides in Coleraine and was very happy to join in on the action.

There are a limited number of four-balls remaining for the Golf Classic.
