Lance Armstrong and a Kilkenny hurling stick



Getting away from politics for a minute, I came across a excellent news story during the weekend. Tony Griffin the Clare hurler is cycling 7000km to raise money for a cancer charity.

http://www.tonygriffinfoundation.com it is a charity worth supporting.

What caught my eye was the photo of Lance Armstrong getting a hurl, which was made by Dowling's of Patricks street in Kilkenny City. Shows you that even the seven times winner of the Tour de France knows class when he sees it.

Log onto Tony's site and donate. I know that I will be.

Michael,

Thanks for the endorsement and your kind words.
I was reluctant to give LA that Dowling. It was a beautiful stick.

We are 12 days in to the ride, completed 407k in last three days and it has been a humbling experience.

Best Wishes, Tony Griffin

obviously like your web-site but you have to test the spelling on quite a few of your posts.
Many of them are rife with spelling problems and I find it very bothersome to tell the
truth however I'll surely come again again.
