LAST weekend the Clarecastle handball club paid host to the girl’s county handball singles championships 2011. In excess of 40 players from different clubs in county Clare gathered last Saturday to compete in the A and B county championships. This was a tremendous turnout, and showed that girl’s handball is strong in County Clare. Two finals have yet to be decided and they will be played this week.
There was some exciting and competitive handball played at the week- end, which is promising for the future of girl’s handball in Clare.
This week also sees the trials commencing for the secondary schools Munster competition, which will commence in early February. Also, Clare’s top Minor players such as Ciaran Malone and Jamie Lynch will be in action this week along with a host of other bright, young county stars as they seek to try and capture the minor county title. The boys singles B competitions in the county also got underway last weekend, with each club in the coun- ty hosting a particular age bracket. These games will be run over the next couple of weekends and will culminate into one weekend of final action that will feature all age brackets in the competition.
