Clare legend Tony Griffin back in hurling action in Wicklow

"Over the winter I did some training and tried to get the body woken back up again, and it’s very enjoyable," he said.

GREAT TO BE BACK: Tony Griffin heads for goal as Darren Reilly of Arklow Rocks gives chase.

Former Clare star Tony Griffin has found a new home to play his club hurling after a five-year absence from the game he loves, and it is a somewhat surprising destination for the 2006 All-Star.

The Ballyhea legend made his debut in the Wicklow Intermediate hurling championship last weekend, firing home 1-3 from play for his adopted club Western Gaels in a fine victory over Arklow Rock Parnells in Echelon Centre of Excellence in Ballinakill on Saturday evening, his goal an absolute peach.
