Mortimer ponders Olympic handball role

Conor Mortimer has been approached about becoming a member of Ireland’s Olympic handball European Championships team.

The Mayo footballer, who left the county panel days before their Connacht final earlier this month, is understood to be considering the invitation.

The 30-year-old was contacted by the Irish Olympic Handball Association (IOHA) shortly after he left James Horan’s camp prior to the Sligo game.
