Aces high for Killarney Handball Queens
By Con Dennehy
‘She’s Ace’, the prestigious All-Ireland Ladies Handball championship takes place this weekend in Tyrone.
Kerry will be well represented at the event with a strong team of players expected to add to their glowing reputations, and places in the finals a realistic goal.
It will be a memorable weekend for the Spa/Killarney Handball Club who will have three players in the ‘Ladies Challenger 1 Wall’ competition with debutants Aoife Walsh (Currow), Niamh Faulds (Glenflesk) and Sinead Moriarty (Spa) flying the club colours.
Moriarty, the recent winner of the Spa/Killarney Tournament, looks a real threat in this competition which has been capped at 20 players. She showed wonderful skill and composure when she won the ‘Ladies Challenger 1 Wall’ tournament in Spa just before Christmas.
“This is a very strong Kerry contingent and the first time so many women from the County will participate in this competition. Ladies handball in Kerry is on the rise and a win in any of the competitions will be a massive boost for the sport in Kerry. The Spa/Killarney Club is honoured to have three promising young players competing and they are the flag bearers in the development of the sport in the Killarney and East Kerry region,” said Eoin O’Donoghue, secretary of the Spa/Killarney Handball Club.
The championships, began yesterday (Thursday) across several venues in Tyrone, and will conclude on Sunday.
Maine Valley Members Golf Club hosted a Comfort for Chemo Golf Fundraiser in memory of Kathy Scannell. The fundraiser was a great success raising €13,050. Clonkeen Forestry Services sponsored the event, and a cheque was presented to Mary Fitzgerald, Paul McCarthy and Mary Horgan on behalf of Comfort for Chemo.
Maine Valley Members Golf Club and Clonkeen Forestry services would like to thank all those who sponsored T-boxes, golf teams, and those who purchased tickets for the event. They would also like to thank Tom Barry from Killarney Printing for all the print works.

The Dóchas Drama Group will run a series of short plays at the Muckross Schoolhouse from December 5 to 7.
The group’s annual performance has been switched to the Muckross venue as its traditional base – the ballroom in the Killarney Avenue Hotel is being refurbished.
“If you are fed up with the incessant rain and constant bad news. Do you need a break? Are tired of listening to advice about your Christmas cake recipe? There is a perfect solution,” said the group’s Liz Ryan.
“We will present six short plays and some of the questions you may ask yourself are:
“Why is Jane suddenly so honest?
“What did happen on December 9. Will Tiffany be promoted? Will Mags eventually find love?
“Can lost love be re-kindled? What do grandparents get up to when they’re babysitting?
For answers to these questions and more, come along to Muckross Schoolhouse on December 5, 6 and 7.”
