CYCLISTS are being asked to dust down the bikes as the Jimmy Duffy Memorial Cycle takes place next Saturday from St. Pat’s GAA Club, Blennerville.
The annual cycle is in memory of Jimmy Duffy, who lived in Blennerville all his life and was a fine musician and avid cyclist.
He was 67 years old when he died as a result of smoke inhalation after fire at his home on Church Street, Blennerville, in January 2010.
