London Senior Hurling Champions Kilburn Gaels will remember  the late Cathal Forde by contesting a challenge game in Gort, County Galway on November 8.

Mr Forde was a member of  Kiburn Gaels when they last won a county title in 2010.

He died suddenly, after suffering from cardiac arrest in April 2010 while training for the north London side at their grounds in Hampstead.

His brother Niall and cousins Brian and Colm were also part of the county championship winning side four years ago.

Following Cathal's death all three returned to Ireland where Niall now plays with  Galway championship frontrunner Gort.

Kilburn have qualified for the All Ireland Intermediate club championship quarter-final as a result of their victory in this year's county championship.  This game is set to be played in late November or early December once the Leinster intermediate  provincial series is decided.
