Card Information

This Callcard was issued to celebrate 75 years of Handball in Ireland and to promote Ireland's 200 Handball clubs (as of 1999).

The Callcard shows two Irish Handball greats in action - Peter McCauley (Louth) & Michael ‘Ducksie/Ducksy’ Walsh (Kilkenny), who sadly passed away in 2016, aged 50.

A heartwarming story about an owner of one such Handball Callcard is available to read here (via The Anglo-Celt)
