Backballer.com is based in Shannon. The brainchild of Noel Marshall the idea came to him in his mid-twenties. A Chronic injury ended his running career and 15 years on as he approached 40 he was struggling with terrible lower back pain. Noel was told that he needed an operation to deal with a rupture between his L5 and S1 vertebrae. He figured there was another option and the backballer was born. www.backballer.com
