Handball News: All Ireland Ruby Masters 60 x 30 | Western Wallball Tournament | All Ireland 60 x 30 semi finals

Hard luck to Fenagh’s Ed Lee who travelled to Crinkle in Co Offaly on Sunday last to represent Leitrim and Connacht in the All Ireland Ruby Masters 60 x 30 All Ireland final.
Ed , famous for his powerful serves and efficient kills overcame many hurdles effortlessly on his way to the All Ireland finals.
On Sunday he came up against Billy Mullins of Tipperary in a meeting of two fantastic handballers.
Unfortunately on the day Mullins won out on a score line 21-6 21-6 which didn’t do Ed justice as there were many fantastic rallies.
Well done to Ed on a very successful big alley season, bringing an All Ireland silver medal back to Leitrim is a rare achievement and one which he should be rightly proud of.
All in Leitrim handball congratulate Ed on his mighty feat.
