This is the home alley of Dick Lyng one of Wexford's most successful players including a win in the World Soft Doubles with Seamus Buggy in 1970.
The death of Edward Delaney aged 79 in September reminded me that he designed the World Handball trophies in 1970 when they were played at Croke Park. Seamus Lyng and Seamus Buggy of Wexford won the doubles title while Pat Kirby won the singles title for America beating the reigning champion Joey Maher playing for Canada.
