No handball Grand Marshal a 'missed opportunity'

Five in-a-row All-Ireland 60 x 30 handball winner Eoin Kennedy says authorities have missed out on a 'glorious opportunity' to promote the game by not including a representative from the GAA sport as one of the Grand Marshals for this year's St. Patrick's Day Parade in Dublin.

Next Tuesday's parade will see three of last year's All-Ireland-winning captains - Brian Dooher (Tyrone football), Angela Walsh (Cork Ladies' football) and Caitriona Foley (Cork camogie), along with Kilkenny hurling star Henry Shefflin - proudly show off the All-Ireland silverware they picked up in 2008, in front of hundreds of thousands of revellers in the capital.
