There's a handball court with a back wall at Green St. Fills up with leaves this time of year.
Near the special criminal court.

Open-ended handball courts in the hospital grounds of Grangegorman, Dublin 7. (One-time home venue for a hybrid soccer/handball game called "wall-ie".)

ye big girls using sticks to hit a ball,whats worng with your hands ??:D

how does the game rate with you?is it good?do you play with a sliotar?(i have read the rules it just dosent state that, i presume as its origins are to promote hurling it is played with sliotar?)

better to play it with a tennis ball as you need a decent bounce in the ball

it is a very good game to speed up your swing and speed of touch
