WBI Golden Hand II: National Wall Ball Championship

Overview

The second International Wall Ball Championship, where 160 men and women from across Australia compete for the Golden Hand trophy, is no laughing matter. Kind of. The trophy is essentially a life-size plaster mould of a hand covered in gold paint that the winner wears around their neck and the game involves a bouncy ball. Regardless, for a sport that will give you the most enthusiastic crowd around and take your childhood playground memories and cram them full of adult ambition and sweat, the Wall Ball Championship is something you've just got to see.
