BRIAN CANTY: Last Post as Moriarty goes down memory lane

It will be an An Post Rás full of nostalgia for one of the country’s most experienced riders next week as Eugene Moriarty lines up at the start in Dublin Castle for an incredible 20th time, writes Brian Canty.

The Listowel man rides for the Down Newry Wheelers team managed by another great servant of Irish cycling, Barry Monaghan.

One of Moriarty’s first introductions to cycling, and indeed the Rás, was 30 years ago when as a teenager, he helped out the Kerry team in the late 80s which was managed by his father Tadhg - and featured Monaghan.
