Don't be so patronising. I know you don't mean it.

Handball is a real Gaelic sport, and handballers are very proud of it. The game has been run into the ground by officials for years and is criminally ignored by the GAA.

Do you know that there isn't a single full time development officer for handball?

A story on a website? Big wow. Some real respect would be appreciated, but it's unlikely to come.

By the way, the game is growing. We had 320 Under 14s played in the Feile last weekend...

Yeah, very well done and congrats to Paul Brady and the other winners.

Cavan won six All Irelands in all, and will fancy their chances of another couple before the year is out.

Also, the Cavan 40x20 doubles championship is on in a couple of weeks. The St Patrick's club are trying to encourage fellas who played handball in St Pats to take it up again - they will be very welcome at this tournament, there will eb plenty of grades so beginners etc won't be playing Brady or Clerkin in the first round.

Good work on the website Rollout

Congratulations to Patrick Clerkin on winning the All Ireland 40x20 Junior B Singles title in Mullingar last Sunday.

Also, good luck to Paul Brady and Michael Finnegan wo take on Mayo in the All Ireland senior doubles final in Kingscourt this Saturday. Anyone whois intrested in attending what will be one of the top sporting events in the county this year can PM me and I'll sort out tickets.

Cavan handball is booming at the moment, there is a new club on the go in St Pats and all players, beginners and experienced, are welcome to join. The courts have been recently done up (thanks to Terry Hyland Auctioneering, Ballyhaise, for sponsorship) and a doubles tournament is planned for a few weeks time to open it. There will be grades for players of all abilities...

PM me if you're interested!

03 astra, 65k miles roughly, black, alloys, spoiler etc

7k euro is cheap enough by all accounts

In relative terms though, their senior team is still one of the worst in the province.

QuoteGowna won the senior league yesterday, a 1 pt win over Castlerahan. Rahan need to get a little bit more size into their team, to make the championship break through, although they seem to doing alot of work at underage level, which could eventually find the 2/3 players they need.

That was only the semi

They play the scum, I mean Cavan Gaels, in the final...

Joke there by the way any sensitive Gaels fellas.... ;D

I heard it was extremely close all right, should Lacken have won it?

Rumour has it Gavin Crowe was a big loss due to flatulence?

I see Andy Murray from Cavan is fighting James Gorman from Belfast on the undercrad to the Duddy fight, a ten rounder for the Irish light welter weight title...

Anyone any idea what Gorman is like?

I have a feeling Murray will take this one, but Goram is from the Shankill as far as I iknow, a tough bastard who will have a large following in the King's Hall

QuoteEvery article is well researched and written

Wouldn't agree that they're well researched

Well written in the main, lay out is brilliant

Not enough handball. 300 words or something is not nearly enough, should be two pages a week
