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.
