Much has changed during the past two decades, but Eoin Kennedy’s passion for the game endures. For the 18th time in 19 years Kennedy returns to contest the 60x30 All Ireland Handball final at Croke Park.

“Even growing up I used to go in to watch the big matches there with Ducksie playing, when Ducksie was winning all those years,” Kennedy wistfully recalls.
