Axel’s son launches tribute with Facebook mass appeal

Two days after attending Munster’s emotionally charged victory over Glasgow Warriors at the spiritual home of Munster rugby, Thomond Park, Foley’s eldest son Tony, 11, set up the ‘Axel Foley Memorial’ Facebook page.

The Facebook site — Axel Foley Memorial — was launched shortly after midday yesterday and had over 17,900 likes at the time of going to print. In the campaign — #8masses4no8 — Tony is asking people to go to mass for the next eight Sundays, poignantly starting this coming Sunday — his father’s birthday.
