Watch final rally as mccarthy retains handball crown

Paul Fitzpatrick

It was one of the most eagerly-awaited All-Ireland senior finals in living memory and yesterday's decider at Kingscourt didn't disappoint as Westmeath's Robbie McCarthy saw off Armagh's Charly Shanks 21-20 in the third game of an epic match.

The Mullingar maestro had dropped the first game 21-12 to the Lurgan man, who was fired up and controlling the exchanges from the service box, but bounced back to take game two 21-6, before coming from 20-15 down to snatch the third.
