Support, solidarity, and celebration will be the themes of the Bo-Jackson Cup on Saturday.

Two midlands sports clubs and a host of well known faces are coming together to raise funds for mental health in memory of one of their former members.

The Bo-Jackson Cup will see Ballycomoyle GAA and Mullingar Rugby club play a compromise rules game of gaelic football and rugby in memory of Robbie Cooney.

Blizzards frontman Bressie, Rory O'Connor of Rory's Stories, and former Westmeath footballer Alan Mangan are taking part in the event at the Mullingar Rugby club on Saturday afternoon.

Robbie Cooney's friends Niall McLarney and Mullingar RFC's Niall Hannon joined David Hollywood on Health & Fitness to look forward to the event.
