Kilkenny handballers bring home All-Ireland silverware
Roy Cullen, John Hayes, Conor Condon, Eoin Brennan and Cathal Buckley have been crowned junior All-Ireland interclub champions
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.
The match went right down to the last singles with Roy Cullen meeting recent Connacht singles champion Seamus Conneely. The West of Ireland man won the first game but Roy fought back bravely to take the second.
This is the Kells club’s second time to win this title having previously won the title a decade ago in 2014.
