The mercurial Robbie McCarthy has won his 6th crown when defeating long time rival Eoin Kennedy in todays MyClubShop.ie All-Ireland Men’s Softball Final at Croke Park.
The Mullingar man started as hot favourite but was pushed all the way in a gripping opening game before making the late push to see out the game 21-16.
That loss appeared to take the steam out of Eoin’s charge as Robbie cruised to the second game 21-9, cementing himself as the dominant force in Softball Handball.
McCarthy becomes the first player to lift the Ducksy Walsh Cup, which was presented to Robbie by the Walsh family following a short video tribute to the great Ducksy.
