Clare boost as Griffin plans hurling switch after bike spell

TONY GRIFFIN has not ruled out playing some part in the hurling championship for Clare this summer.

The 2006 All-Star has spent the last two months cycling 7,000km across Canada in his ‘Ride for the Cure’ and he embarks on the last leg of the trip this weekend when he makes his way from Dublin to Ennis alongside 125 other fundraisers.

Griffin dislocated his shoulder in a crash 28 days into the 51-day Canadian adventure and will visit a consultant on Tuesday morning to establish the extent of his recovery.
