The St. Paul’s GAA club hosts one of the most well-attended Golden Gloves competitions in the country.
It attracted competitors from the US, Canada, and Spain as well.
The city, which has some of the best handball infrastructure in the country, will host 300 games over the course of three days at ten different locations.
Competitions are run from Under-13 to the Over-60s, but most of the attention focuses on the senior men’s and women’s titles.
Famous athletes claim it signals the start of the competitive season, and many make the effort to attend.
