Proud day as handball champ Mikey scoops Traveller Pride Award

Handball champion Mikey Kelly has added more silverware to his collection after winning the overall award at the annual Traveller Pride Awards.

The 12-year-old, a member of Loughrea Handball Club, last year scooped the world under-11 title at an event in Calgary in Canada and yesterday he picked up both the sport award and the overall prize at the ceremony held in Dublin.

The event was addressed by Minister with Special Responsibility for Equality, Immigration and Integration, David Stanton.
