Handball 

Handball is a sport that has seen a recent resurgence in the county, but the sport has been played in Roscommon for over 100 years. This is our very small collection of material relating to handball in Roscommon. We would love to have more examples of photographs and ephemera for handball in the county. If you have such material that you no longer require and would like to give it a good home .. please contact us.
