Instead of the usual run the St. Patrick’s Club staged a handball tournament at the Christian Brothers’ High School, some very close and interesting games revealing that members have not lost much of the form of their school days when they were regular players of the game. The first round, which resulted in fairly easy victories in all games, was 11 and 1 game ball, the second round being the same, and the third fifteen and two game balls. First round results were as follow:—F. Hall defeated J. J. Daly game-9, W. T. Ryan defeated J. Hartstonge game-3, H. M'Donnell defeated T. Robertson game-2, P. Wilson defeated P. Porter game-9, W. C.

M'Donnell and Wilson; while F. Hall and W. C. M'Donnell had byes. In the third round the best game of the day was played, that between F. Hall and W. C. M'Donnell. At one stage the score stood at 6-1, and when Hal! was 12 his opponent had scored only five, but by dint of difficult serving and determined play M'Donnell added seven more points before conceding another, but after an exciting game Hall won game-14. Henderson was the harder hitter in tho other game, which lie won game-7. Hall decided not to contest the final with Henderson, who was declared the winner. Those not competing went for a short run under the whistle of Captain Daly, those prominent being C. Airey and R. Carroll.
