Irish Stars in US Nationals Quarter-Finals in Kansas
RTE has more on Irishman Conor Brady’s trip to America, specifically to Overland Park, KS, as the 29 year old Cavan man attempts to retain his US Nationals titile in the quarter final today.
We’re talking Handball again.
The dual sporting star opted not to stay in Ireland this weekend gone, foregoing his place on the Cavan team against Armagh in the Ulster Football Championship on Sunday.
Also today in Kansas, Corkman Tony Healy is playing the legendary American, 8-time champion and former number 1, David Chapman:
Healy’s athletic style is fantastic to watch, and having already collected the Irish and Canadian Nationals titles, the Ballydesmond handballer should overcome the former world number one.
The GAA’s amateur status prevents Ireland’s top handballers from pocketing the money directly and all winnings go to the Irish Handball Council, and can then be claimed back in legitimate expenses from the players.
Location and other details are all available from my earlier handball post
