Will Handball Ever "Take" in Cooley? Whither handball? Will the sport of handball, which was played in the Ancient Olympics and whose mother in the modern world is Ireland, bite the dust or will it live on in far-flung places around the world - including in The Cooley Peninsula? In the early morning (10.30 a.m.) of Wednesday 10 November 2004 a few members of Cooley Environmental and Health Group (CEHG) started out from the car-park of Best Western Ballymascanlon House Hotel for a trip to Tullyvin, Co Cavan. They reached their destination about 1.00 p.m. after a stop for coffee in Carrickmacross and they played a little handball there on the old alley before retiring for lunch to The Errigal Hotel, Cootehill. |

What a breath of fresh air to have a Bishop "come out" in support of hand-ball, a much overlooked part of our sporting heritage. Personally I look forward to members of the church hierarchy taking young Irishmen into handball alleys and introducing them to strenuous activities.
Check out Burt Lancaster in "Birdman of Alcatraz" playing handball against the visiting (Irish of course) Catholic Priest.
