All-Ireland masters success for Galbally club member

Tomás Donegan and Paul Hedderman, All-Ireland Golden Masters A champions.

Mitchelstown handballer Tomás Donegan is one half of an All-Ireland winning duo this week, as he and teammate Paul Hedderman won the Golden Masters A All-Ireland handball final against Dublin last weekend.

Mr Donegan plays with Galbally Handball Club and achieved the victory with his long-time teammate, Paul, who plays out of Hospital Handball Club in County Limerick.

What promised to be a very tough encounter against their Dublin opponents certainly lived up to expectations and speaking with The Avondhu this week, Mr Donegan recalled that the encounter was a close one, but ultimately, a ‘brilliant occasion’.

Thanking all their supporters for travelling with them to Dublin, Tomás reckoned their chances going into the final were ’50/50’.
