Legendary Sligo handball star Paddy Walsh seeking his 29th All-Ireland handball title faltered in Tuamgraney Clare on Saturday.  His opponent Cork’s Pat O’Brien took an early grip on proceedings and Walsh struggled to remain in contention. The Corkonian eventually taking the title by 21-11, 21-11 in both games.
