Jamaica’s Kayaksman Faces His Toughest Challenge Yet
Known for its rapid waters and unstable currents, Ireland’s Liffey Descent will be taking place on the 26th September, this weekend.
This will be the first time Jamaica will be represented on Irish waters.
This descent race is one of the most difficult descent courses in Europe and Tony is delighted to be invited by the Irish Canoe Union to race.
Sponsored by Jt’s Coconut Essence UK, the sprint kayaker has been competing in a variety of distance races in the UK and internationally, for strength, speed and endurance in the hope of qualifying for the Rio Olympics next year.
The Jamaican Kayaksman also plans to raise money, awareness and support for international charity, Water Aid and is supported by his family, friends and training partners who wish him well.
