Handball hero Walsh retires

Kilkenny handball legend Michael 'Ducksy' Walsh has announced his retirement from the senior handball stage, following his defeat to Dubliner Eoin Kennedy in the M Donnelly 60x30 Senior Singles final yesterday.

Walsh was appearing in his 20th All-Ireland senior final, but Kennedy was in top form from start to finish and it was clear from the outset that the Kilkenny man was up it against it.
