 28th July The Munster 60x30 Minor Singles final between Jerome Cahill & James Prentice was an all action affair from start to finish and little between them . James got off to the better start and led throughout the first game and looked set for an easy victory leading 18-12. Jerome upped the tempo and after some great rallies found himself at 18 all. Both players had chances to finish but jerome finally pulled away to take the first 2-19.The second game took the same pattern to the first with lots of rallies and some great "gets" with James once again dominating the early stages. Jerome made another comeback and it was looking like he was once again going to take the second until a couple of fine shots by James saw him edge in front to win the second 21/19. In the third James controlled the centre cutting off a lot of ball on the fly and finally won out winning the third 21-14. ============================================ we had three north finals in Lahorna on sunday 23rd july 2017 in G10s Chelsey OConnor Ballina bt Lucy Gould Lahorna 11-7, 11-10. in B10d Dean Carey/Ruan OCallaghan Ballina lost the first game 7-11 to Evan Comerford/Ferghal Doheny Lahorna but Ballina stormed back in the second game to win 11-3 and win on overall aces 17-14 in a cracking game. in B13d Eoin Carroll/ Jack Mulcahy Lahorna bt Evan Carey/ Brian Burke Ballina 15-5, 15-2.

In the Final against Ulster-the two younger grades at U13 and U14 laid down a very strong foundation to lead by 27 aces, going into very strong Ulster grades at the older levels. After the U15 and U16 games-Munster were up by 30 aces to leave the U17 girls in an excellent position to seal victory winning overall 95-64. All 12 girls on the panel played over the course of the two games-a credit to the management team in charge of the girls. A lot of work and time goes into any All Ireland success, huge credit must go to the people in charge-Eamonn Spillane (Nenagh), Rose Mc Mahon and Pat Murphy ( Broadford) who have led the Munster Girls through some titanic struggles over the years. Many thanks to all the girls involved for their commitment and dedication over the last few weeks, clubs, coaches and parents for all their support and help.

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

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 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 |
