The death has occurred of Patrick Joseph (Joey) MAHER

Drogheda, Louth

Date Published: Tuesday 17th May 2016

Date of Death: Monday 16th May 2016

One of the all-time greats of the game, Joey was a multiple All-Ireland senior, Canadian and world champion. On Saturday, October 25^th, 2008, a life-sized sculpture of the Louth handball icon was unveiled at Scotch Hall overlooking the Boyne.

Joey was the first Irishman to win the world handball crown when he took the title in Toronto in 1967, having moved to Canada and joined the Royal Canadian Mounted Police to concentrate on improving his handball skills.

In 1956, he won his first Irish junior title. He claimed the Irish Senior Hardball Singles in 1961, 1963 and 1964 and also the Irish Senior Softball titles in the latter two years. In 1962, Joey won the first of several Gael Linn Cups from an entry of 1,200 players.

He travelled to the first World Handball Championships in 1964 and felt that the only way to win the title was to quit his job as a painter-decorator and enlisted in the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in Toronto. His move to Canada saw him winning Canadian National Titles beating Barrie Leech twice (1966/68) and Dinty Moore (1967) as well as two US titles; he became the first Irishman to take the World handball title in 1967 in Toronto.

On his return to Ireland, the Drogheda man won both the softball and hardball senior titles three years in a row 1968/69/70. In 1969, he became the first handballer to win a Texaco Sports Star Award and Joey received his trophy from another sporting legend, Jack Lynch, the then Taoiseach.

Joey collected the last of his Irish Senior Softball titles in 1973 but he won another US singles championship in Knoxville in 1974. In Kilowna Valley in Canada in 1986, he won another World Championship, this time in the Golden Masters grade.

Having reached the top in handball , Joey turned his attention to music, forming the Maher Family Band with three of his sons and his daughter and went on to win the hugely popular Hughie Green’s Opportunity Knocks on ITV television.

Mc Ellistrim

The death has occurred of Thomas ‘Roundy’ Mc Ellistrim, renowned handballer from the Ballymacelligott Handball Club in Co Kerry. Roundy, aka “The Champ” passed away on Sunday 7^th December, at 8am in Tralee Community hospital. In a long and illustrious career, Roundy was a specialist in the 60X30 alley, winning numerous big court competitions in softball and hardball. The ability to control games from the centre of the court marked him out as one of true greats of the game; his “soft” corner kill from the centre of the court or passing lob shot were only two of the hallmarks of this brilliant handballer. The Champ, delighted in showing the youngsters in Ballymac his “party piece”, standing a box of matches against the front wall in the big alley, and hitting it with a handball from the back of the alley-fully sixty feet away. Roundy’s parents-Jimmy and Bridie, were the genesis of handball in Ballymac, as the Mc Ellistrim family gave the site for the alley on which Ballymac Handball alley now stands. Their generosity has touched the lives of many families within the parish, and indeed throughout the County. Roundy is survived by his brother-Murty, and two sisters-Philomena and Joan; and he is predeceased by Richard “Dick” Mac, and his sister Kathleen. Funeral arrangements as follows; removal on Monday 8^th December from Tangney’s funeral home in Castle island 6pm-8pm to St Brendan’s Church, Clogher, Ballymacelligott; funeral mass in St Brendan’s Church, Clogher, Ballymacelligott on Tuesday December 9^th at 12 noon, burial afterwards in Clogher graveyard.
