In memory of my Uncle Tommy and to honour his short but eventful life playing the sport of handball, I designed the above plaque and had it made by a local craftsman in Leixlip Co Kildare. In April 2011 I gifted this plaque together with a photo of Tommy to Ballyporeen Handball Club so that Tommy will always be remembered and honoured in his hometown. The plaque and photo now hang on the Roll of Honour Wall in the club. The club acknowledged the gift of this plaque (see letter page 31 in this book).
