In the Minor Doubles final in Croke Park on Saturday 7th October Tipperary pair of James Prentice (Ballina) & Jerome Cahill (Lahorna) overcame Galways Diarmuid Mulkerrins & Cian O Conghaille in an epic All-Ireland Final. This was Tipps first win in Minor Doubles since 1991 when Noel Murphy & David Moloney from Cashel won.Tipp were narrowly beaten in the Minor singles final where Mulkerrins beat Prentice in a very Close contest and were in no mood to lose a second time to Galway. Galway took off to a roaring start and after only 2 sets of serves and led by 16-2 .Mulkerrins &. O’Conghaille were brilliant and drove on to lead 18-6 before the Tipp pair finally dug deep & forged a comeback. Through sheer determination the Tipp duo held Galway .at 18 while they piled on another 5 aces before Galway took the first 21/11. In the second, Tipperary came to life and went into a lead of 8-2 lead. Cahill was covering every inch of the court while Prentice took the short Line and what a battle we had with rallies lasting a lifetime. Galway pushed tipp all the way and at the halfway mark Tipp had a narrow lead of 14-11. The Tipp boys finished off the second in style winning 21-13. The third and final game saw the Tipp Duo continue as they had finished the second game and forged ahead to a 12-0 lead, But the game was to take many twists and turns as Galway got their game together and after a string of blistering rallies they went into overdrive and came back to 12-7. Tipperary found it very hard to make aces and in 8 hands only got 1 ace while the Galway pair only succeeded in getting to 8. The crowd were on their feet with each set of supporters urging on their players as this epic battle saw Galway come within 2 aces where Tipp lead 17-15. The Tipp boys had dug deep before in their Munster final where they had to overcome Cork in a thriller winning 21/20, 20/21 & 21/16 and this stood to them in this great final. Tipp got to 20 but once again Galway got them out but only succeeded in getting 1 ace before the Tipp boys finally got the elusive ace to capture the Minor Doubles title for the Premier County Tipp Players were involved in 6 other All-Ireland finals in various venues at the Weekend winning 3 out of the 6.

13/2/2013 GAA Handball Ireland would like to announce that our CEO, Chris Curran, has officially stepped down as the Chief Executive of the organisation, from April 2013. Below is the official release.
A chara,
Following official notification to GAA Handball Central Council on Tuesday 12th February 2013, I wish to advise that, for personal reasons, I have officially stepped down as CEO of GAA Handball Ireland.
I will officially be leaving from the end of April 2013, and until then I will work closely with former GAA Handball President, Tony Hannon, who will officially take up the role of Interim CEO from 15th April 2013 for the Association.
Having spent just over four years in this role, I have truly enjoyed the fantastic experience of working within such a brilliant organisation and certainly feel that our sport and organisation are continuing to grow and develop in a very exciting era for GAA Handball. The hosting of the World Championships in particular in Dublin was one of the most memorable experiences during my time, and certainly dominated much of that time, and highlighted the outstanding commitment and dedication of so many hundreds of our volunteers, players and officials from all over this country.
I will continue to love and be involved in GAA Handball and certainly look forward to "competing" again as well as the involvement within my own club in Loughmacrory and county.
While I will be in the role of CEO until April, I would still like to take this opportunity to thank all the many people who have supported and helped in all our efforts to raise our great GAA Sport to new heights and I look forward to this continuing into the future.
Is mise le meas,
Chris

World Championships 2012
Following a meeting of the Ard Comairle of GAA Handball Ireland, it has been decided to make the following announcement in respect of the hosting of the 2012 World Handball Championships in Ireland.
Following in-depth research and consultation it has been decided by GAA Handball Ireland Central Council, in conjunction with the GAA, that the 2012 World Handball Championships (both One-Wall and 40x20 Four-Wall events) will be staged in Dublin, at one large Central Arena from 11th to 21st October 2012.
This will see the entire World Championships staged in a purpose built arena which will cater for in excess of 2,000 competitors from 33 countries and will allow for major Television Coverage, marketing and sponsorship for what promises to be one of the most special International Handball Events ever.
The project will see a large number of 40x20 Handball Courts constructed to host the Four Wall Championships and this will be how the World Championship Event will commence on Thursday 11th October 2012 and will culminate with Live TV Coverage of the Ladies & Mens World Senior Singles Championship Finals on Wednesday evening 17th October 2012.
The World One-Wall Championships will commence with prelimenary rounds on Tuesday 16th October 2012 with the climax being the World Open Senior Singles Finals on Saturday evening 20th October 2012. There will also be a host of major social events and high profile entertainment throughout the period of the championships at the same venue with a large Gala Banquet to take place on Saturday 20th October 2012. The eagerly awaited event will eventually climax with a host of special Irish Handball (including 60x30 and hardball) & Gaelic Games Exhibitions on Sunday 21st October 2012.
The World Handball Championship Arena will be on a major campus alongside 800 hotel bedrooms (plus a number of adjoining hotels), leisure facilities, restaurants and bars, golf course, shops and with easy commute to the Dublin City Centre, while there will be full-time shuttle buses in operation to and from Dublin Airport to cater for all travelling International parties.
The new announcement is sure to come as a very exciting one to handball players the world over and a more comprehensive plan, to include details and pictures of the actual venue plus all forthcoming plans for the World Championship Executive Committee in Ireland will follow by Monday 3rd October 2012.
In order to provide the opportunity for players, both in Ireland and Internationally, to begin making their arrangements for the dates this initial announcement is thus being made today.
World Handball Championships 2012
Venue: in Dublin, Ireland

Four Wall 40x20 Championships: from Thursday 11th - Wednesday 17th October 2012;

World Handball Latest News:
Following extensive meetings and, in conjunction with the World Handball Council, a decision has been made as follows:
In light of issues and delays surrounding the preparations for the World Handball Championships in 2012 in Ireland, it has been decided to put back the date for the hosting of this hugely prestigious event in Ireland. This is in light of major work to be carried out in preparation for the event and now that the proposed new National Handball Centre in Croke Park has been ruled out to being ready in time to host this event.
It has already been passed and approved by GAA Handball Ireland Central Council that the World Championships will be hosted in conjunction with the Ulster GAA Council in Ulster Venues (with the use of North Leinster venues if required). Full details on venues will be released by end of May 2011.
This is a World Handball Council sanctioned event and, following discussion and authority by the World Handball Council Executive, it has been agreed to amend the date for the World Handball Championships (both 40x20 and 1-Wall) to a new date as follows:
World Handball Championships in Ireland 2012
(4-Wall 40x20 & 1-Wall)
Commencing Thursday 4th October 2012 and concluding by Sunday 14th October 2012.

Fergal Collins (Ballina) Fergal Collins from the Ballina club in North Tipperary once again enjoyed a very successful year, winning both the 40 x 20 and 60 x 30 U-21 All-Ireland Singles titles. In April he travelled to Moycullen in Galway to take on the Connacht champion Stephen Cooney from Mayo. In a very closely contested final Fergal won by 21/17, 18/21, 21/16. He spent the summer in America and competed in many USHA tournaments, playing against some world class players. He returned for the 60 x 30 championships and in the All-Ireland final played in Talbot's Inch in Kilkenny in September he beat local man Ciaran Neary 21/13, 21/8. Fergal also reached the U-21 Doubles final, partnered by clubman Declan Gleeson, but they were beaten in the final in Thurles by Ciaran Neary and Patrick Funchion from Kilkenny. His success in the U-21 grade was notable, as he is again underage for this year's championships. The Féile na nGael Skills Record holder has made real strides in his game in recent years and his future looks very promising as he progresses towards the senior ranks |
