Cooney pledges support to handball association

GAA President Christy Cooney has stated today that he will assist the Handball Association in organising a Handball Week later this year, which he hopes will strengthen the membership of the Handball Association.

"As part of our commitment to widen our net by introducing as many members as possible to all of our codes, we will assist GAA Handball in the organisation of Handball Week later in the year to bring as many of our existing members and footballers, hurlers and camógs into contact with the game," he told GAA Congress delegates this afternoon.
