Hurling legend gets in gear for Kelly charity cycle

HURLING star Dan Shanahan switched sports yesterday to help officially launch this year’s Sean Kelly Tour which aims to raise a sizeable fund for Down Syndrome Ireland.

The fifth year of the tour takes place next month and will see cyclists of varying abilities compete across three different routes in the countryside and towns of Waterford.

As part of the An Post Cycle Series, details of the event on Sunday, August 28 were announced yesterday at Mahon Falls in the Comeragh Mountains.
