AS FAR AS I KNOW THIS IS OUR FIRST EVER LEINSTER SENIOR 60X30 WIN.
Well done to All Ireland hardball winners
Ian griffin and christy donnelly bridged a 24 year gap last night by winning the all ireland junior hardball doubles final against a very fancied roscommon pairing of chris doolin and glen walsh.the strange thing is it was also a na fianna pairing back in 1983 that won this title,eddie lee and ray walsh, eddie lee winning the singlas crown as well.From the off there was only one winner the lads played superb handball with great kills and passing shots by both players.There was no sign of nerves considering these lads were beaten in three all ireland finals and a semi final in the junior softball in the last 5 years so to say it was a deserved win is an understatement.
CONGRATS TO THE LADS AND BEST OF LUCK IN SOFTBALL JUNIOR DOUBLES

THE SENIOR HANDBALLERS HAVE PUT THEMSELVES FIRMLY ON TOP OF THE TREE IN DUBLIN BEING THE HOLDERS OF THE 60X30 AND 40X20 LEAGUES,THEY BEAT A VERY STRONG NAOMH PADRAIGH TEAM BY A BIG SCORELINE 86 POINTS TO 42 LAST TUESDAY 13TH FEB IN CROKE PARK.
