No need for ban on football handpass

I have to disagree with Denis Deasy (Letters, Aug 30) when he calls for a ban of the handpass in Gaelic football.

I don’t think it is a coincidence that Mr Deasy is a Cork man when he brandishes that weekend’s semi-final between Cork and Donegal ‘pathetic’.

What took place that Sunday was a victory for a new modern Gaelic football that Donegal have introduced to the country.
