Handball tests

The semi-finals of the All-Ireland Senior Singles 40x20 Handball Championships will be played this weekend with the prospect of two mouth-watering clashes between four of Ireland’s top players — Tony Healy (Cork), Eoin Kennedy (Dublin), Paul Brady (Cavan) and Dessie Keegan (Mayo).

The first semi-final sees Kennedy facing off against Healy at Cappagh on Saturday at 6:30pm while Paul Brady takes on Dessie Keegan at the new Kingscourt venue, also this Saturday at 5pm.
