Achievements
Our Annual One-Wall Tournament, now in its 8th
year, has become a highly successful and very popular two day
event in the Irish Handball calendar.
Its standard of competition, efficiency, its hospitality and
central location attract many Irish and World Title holders
(who play in the Men's Open for the Patrick Hyland Memorial
Cup) and also players from Ulster, Munster, Leinster
and Connaught, who participate in the newly introduced (2001)
Junior B Competition for the much coveted John Carthy
Cup. The Juvenile Games affords a great opportunity
to all our young players to test their skills in competition
from U11 up to U17 level. |
