GAA STARS TAKE TO THE ALLEY An impressive line-up of some of the finest athletes in Gaelic Games has been assembled for tomorrow’s GAA Handball Showdown, and the stars, from Football, Hurling, Camogie, Rounders, Ladies Football and, of course, Handball, are now ready for action. The Showdown involves pairing high-ranking handball players, such as Cork’s Tony Healy, Kilkenny’s Michael ‘Ducksy’ Walsh and Dublin’s Eoin Kennedy, with a top GAA Star from their county in a knock-out tournament to become the ‘Ultimate GAA Handball Showdown’ winners. A total of 20 counties will be represented at the Showdown, with proceedings hosted by Hector Ó hEochagáin. With the likes of 2009 Hurler of the Year, Tommy Walsh, and All-Ireland winning Kerry captain, Darran O’Sullivan, in action, along with a host of other GAA stars, this unique charity event promises to be something special. The Make-A-Wish Foundation, who aim to make the wishes of children living with life-threatening illnesses come true, will be the beneficiaries of the GAA Handball Showdown. A huge crowd is expected to attend the GAA Showdown this weekend at what promises to be a thrilling occasion for Gaelic Games. Some of the stars in action include Meath scoring ace, Joe Sheridan; Tipperary hurling star, Shane McGrath; Mayo’s legend, Cora Staunton; Cork Camóg, Cathríona Foley and former Armagh footballer, Diarmaid Marsden.
