Kilkenny handballers bring home All-Ireland silverware

Kells Handball Club's Roy Cullen, John Hayes, Conor Condon, Eoin Brennan and Cathal Buckley have been crowned the new junior All-Ireland interclub champions as the local team were 66-57 victors over Moycullen in a tightly-fought contest against very determined opponents.

Eoin Brennan went in first in the singles against Conor Noone and came out on the winning side in both games. John Hayes and Conor Condon met James Dempsey and Sean Maughan from Moycullen in the doubles with each team winning one game.
