Walsh out to make impression in first senior handball final against maestro Brady

The Mallow native has risen to prominence after his breakthrough a couple of years ago.

It has been a whirlwind 12 months for Cork handballer David Walsh, who lines out in his first oneills.com All-Ireland Senior Singles final today at the National Handball Centre, Croke Park.

Standing in his way is Cavan’s six-time world champion Paul Brady, who is 19 years the Mallow man’s senior. Making the semi-final of the Worlds and his first Senior Championship decider means Walsh has now firmly established himself as one of the leading elite players in the sport, having only broken through from intermediate ranks two years ago, but the 26-year-old is not getting carried away.
