Bonus for MDonnelly Junior Tour

By Tommy Campbell, Irish Independent/Evening Herald/Sunday Independent

A month before the start of the MDonnelly Junior Tour and the wheels of the organisation headed by Alice Sherratt are well and truly rolling. Starting on July 12 in County Mayo, the tour will have stage starts in some of the principal towns of the county, and during the last few days the organisation has received a major boost with Ballina's Streets and Arts Festival showing their support.

Sherratt is confident of the event running smoothly, and said recently that, “Everything is coming together and I’ll be announcing teams in the next week or so. It's a great opportunity for the Irish juniors to have competition of this calibre,” said Alice.
