THE oldest form of GAA Handball, the traditional game of Hardball, saw a first on Saturday evening in Roscommon as Westmeath’s Robbie McCarthy continued his impressive 2011 run of form when he added a first All-Ireland Senior Championship crown (Hardball) to the Irish 40x20 Nationals win in Wexford last month.

KERRY’s determination to reclaim their All-Ireland title from Tyrone must not be at the expense of admiring what the Red Hands have achieved in recent years, according to outgoing Kerry selector, Dr Dave Geaney.

Just a fortnight after he captured the Senior Singles Softball Handball title after beating Kilkenny legend Michael 'Ducksy' Walsh, Dublin's Eoin Kennedy is back searching for All-Ireland glory in the Handball centre at Croke Park tomorrow where he is paired with Egin Jensen in the Senior Doubles decider.
