John West Feile 40x20 2019

John West Féile na nGael 40x20 2019  was hosted by Cork & Limerick

Huge congratulations to Lahorna  Division 1 Féile 40x20 team: Hannah Grace, Leanne Gould, Christine Percy, Lucy Gould & Katie Mulcahy who made history by being the first ever Lahorna team to win the Division 1 40x20 Féile.

This was no easy task for the Lahorna girls as Garryhill, Cullohill & Kilkishen were also eager to bring home the Division 1 40x20 Cup from Fermoy in Co. Cork. 

The competition ran in a round robin format, first to 21 aces or the highest score wins after 15 mintues.  In the first game our girls came up against Kilkishen Co. Clare who became their opponents again in the final.  Hannah and Lucy drew their first game 19-19, Leanne and Christine defeated the second Kilkishen pair 21-4 to give Lahorna their first win of the day. 

Up next in round 2 was Cullohill Co. Laois.  This time Hannah and Katie lined out in the first game winning 21-3 and Leanne and Christine won the second game 21-2 which gave us a convincing win. 

The girls final group game was against the Co. Carlow club of Garryhill.  Hannah and Katie again were first into the court and had a tough battle but came out on top of a score line 16-15.  Christine and Lucy put in a stellar performance to book our place in the final on a score line of 21-4. 

The Final was a tense affair from start to finish where our girls found themselves battling it out with Kilkishen yet again.  Hannah and Lucy saved their best performance ‘til last rattling the same Clare opponents that they met in the first round by winning 21-8.  Christine and Leanne teamed up for the final game of the day against the second Kilkishen pair who they too also met in the first round and after a hard fought close affair the Lahorna pair came out on top winning 16-15 which secured our Lahorna girls the Féile Divison 1 crown for 2019 on a final score line 37-23.

The icing on the cake in Fermoy was victory for Lahorna in the Division 1 skills competition when Hannah Grace emerged victorious to take the individual gold and title of the Féile skills champion 2019. 

None of this would have been possible without the dedication from their coach Vincent O’Shea who has but in endless hours over the last month in particular preparing the Féile teams in their quest for glory. 

Lahorna had a second Girls team who won Division 3 in Cappagh Co. Limerick.. This is the first time these girls played in the Féile competition. There were eight teams involved in two groups of four. In our group the girls first played against neighbours Youghalarra which they won after a nervous start. They then played Inis Oirr Galway and beat them comfortably 21-7, 21-8. In their third group game they played Cullohill (2) Co. Laois and having won the first game 21-2, lost the second 17-21. This left them topping the group. They met Annaghdown Galway in the semi-final winning 21-12, 21-12 which got them to a final against Glenmore Kilkenny. They got off to a very good start winning the first game 21-6 and won the second game 21-12. A super achievement for a very young team of Ali O'Kelly, Clodagh Shinners, Emma Williams, Sarah Williams, Aoife Williams

Ali O'Kelly went on to compete in the skills competition where she won a silver medal. Well done Ali.

Well done to all .

   40x20 All IrelandFinals 2019

Big weekend for Tipperary Handball  contesting  4 All-Ireland Finals winning 2 and narrowly losing 2. The Weekend kicked off in Nenagh on Friday night with the Silver Masters B Doubles. Joseph & Finbar Ryan from the Silvermines were up against Graham Casburn & Morgan Duggan from Galway. This turned out to be an epic Battle which theTipp boys were very unlucky to lose. Both Joseph & Finbar  dominated the early stages of the first game with some great attacking handball and unsettled the Galway boys. They were too cautious in the latter stages opting for a defensive game and the slower game suited the Galway boys who somehow went ahead against the run of play to take the first 21/18. Galway looked to be in control in the second but the ’Mines boys dug deep and in a cracking game took the second 21/19 much to the delight of huge crowd in Nenagh. The third game started at a great pace with powerful serving and finishing putting the Tipp boys in control but they once again went into defensive mode and Galway eventually pulled away to take the third 21/12. All four players gave their all and served up a great game of Handball in Nenagh. The other three Finals were in Kingscourt in Cavan. In the mens Junior B Doubles Aiden O Flaherty (Youghalarra) & Liam Bradshaw (Newport) Beat Gordan Nolan & Michael Egan from Roscommon.  The Tipp Boys settled down early in the first and won 21/14. Roscommon stormed back in the second and won 21/7. In the third Aiden & Liam powered their way in a hard hitting game and kept the pressure on throughout to take the third 21/4. In the Silver Masters B Doubles Brian O Brien & John Kennedy (Silvermines) were up against the Ulster Champions Jim Cunningham & Tony O Connor from Down. Brian & John were on top throughout the first game and eased their way to a 21/6 win. In the second game Down settled down and were beginning to cause problems but spurned on by the large ‘Mines support John Kennedy covered every inch of the court while Brian hit some great Kill shots to take thesecond game  21/12. In the Ladies Junior B Doubles Eleanor Percy & Síle Spain (Lahorna) were also up against the Ulster Champions from Tyrone Michelle Warren & Michaela Mc Cartan. The Tipp Girls got a great Start taking the first game 21/16. Tyrone responded in the second to win 21/10.In a nail biting third they were level at 17 all and although they reached 20 they failed to get the vital ace and after 3 attempts Tyrone finally  got there winning 21/20. Well done to all the players who won Gold & Silver .

                         Junior Nationals 40x20 2016:  17/04/2016

The National Review Committee will be announcing Radical proposals for the upcoming Clár for 2019 on a trial basis for 3 years. The changes proposed will see many competitions such as B grades ,Team events , and various Master grades disappear off of the National Clár and be regraded to provincial tournaments. Juvenile competitions will also be scaled down with some inter county team events also to be downgraded . All competitions including the elite grades are down for change. The Provincial Handball Councils & County delegates are at present being briefed on these changes which will filter down to Clubs over the next few weeks.When feedback from the provincial Councils is received the final draft will be sent out to all Counties. This is a radical move by GAA Handball to improve the over burdened Clár and will cause much debate throughout Handball circles. The full review will be published here when released to Clubs.

In the BU16D Jack Mc Grath & Conor O Dwyer had a tough encounter against Newport’s Eoin Healy & Jack Foley. It was a much tighter game than the score line of 21-4, 21-6 would indicate.  The Newport boys fought hard but time and time again the failed to make aces on the serve where Cashel were dominant inside and went on to win their County title. In the BU17D Ben White & Ross Moloney from Cashel eventually won in agame that took many twists and turns. Newport were on top in the first game and somehow lost their way near the end and narrowly lost out 21-19. In the second game Newport rallied again and won convincingly 21-8. A tiring Cashel pair gave it everything in the third and with some great shots and serves took the tie break 11-2. Best of Luck to all who will go ahead to contest the Munster Championships.

In the Minor Doubles final in Croke Park on Saturday 7th October Tipperary pair of James Prentice (Ballina) & Jerome Cahill (Lahorna)  overcame Galways Diarmuid Mulkerrins & Cian O Conghaille in an epic All-Ireland Final. This was Tipps first win in Minor Doubles since 1991 when Noel Murphy & David Moloney from Cashel won.Tipp were narrowly beaten in the Minor singles final where Mulkerrins beat Prentice in a very Close contest and were in no mood to lose a second time to Galway.

Galway took off to a roaring start and after only 2 sets of serves and led by 16-2 .Mulkerrins  &. O’Conghaille were brilliant and drove on to lead 18-6 before the Tipp pair finally dug deep & forged a comeback. Through sheer determination the Tipp duo held Galway .at 18 while they piled on another 5 aces before Galway took the first 21/11.

In the second,  Tipperary came to life and went into a lead of 8-2 lead. Cahill was covering every inch of the court  while Prentice took the short Line and what a battle we had  with rallies lasting a lifetime.Galway pushed tipp all the way and at the halfway mark Tipp had a narrow lead of 14-11. The Tipp boys finished off the second in style winning 21-13.  The third and final game  saw the Tipp Duo continue as they had finished the second game and forged ahead to a 12-0 lead, But the game was to take many twists and turns as Galway got their game together and  after a string of blistering rallies they went into overdrive and came back to 12-7. Tipperary  found it very hard to make aces and in 8 hands only got 1 ace  while the Galway pair only succeeded in getting  to 8. The crowd were on their feet with each set of supporters urging on their players as this epic battle saw Galway come within 2 aces where Tipp lead 17-15. The Tipp boys had dug deep before in their Munster final where they had to overcome Cork in a thriller winning 21/20, 20/21 & 21/16 and this stood to them in this great final. Tipp got to 20 but once again Galway got them out but only succeeded in getting 1 ace before the Tipp boys finally got the elusive ace to capture the Minor Doubles title  for the Premier County

Tipp Players were involved in 6 other All-Ireland finals in various venues at the Weekend winning 3 out of the 6. In Hospital in Limerick Noel Moroney (Ballina) & Kevin Dempsey (Clonmel) had a good win over Sean Ryan & Kevin Croke from Offaly winning 21/9, 21/10 in the O35B Final.

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.

May 9th 2016

The Munster Girls-2016 40X20 Provincial Team Of Ten retained their All Ireland crown this weekend to record a remarkable four in a row All Ireland series of Titles. The 2016 event which took place in Kingsourt on Saturday May 9th in Kingscourt, saw  Munster beat a very strong Leinster outfit in the Semi Final and then proceeded to take the overall honours against Ulster in the decider by thirty aces. The semi final against Leinster proved to be edge of the seat stuff, the Munster girls were three aces down going into the last doubles section but the U17 pairing of Sinead Meagher and Katie Mc Carthy pulled out all the stops to secure victory for the Munster team winning overall 87-70. 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.

Pride, passion, skill and intense competition were all in abundance in Kingscourt HC, Cavan on Saturday, as over 40 young girls from across the country proudly represented their provinces at the Girls 40x20 Interprovincial Team of 10 event.

This event was hugely entertaining and competitive in a day of quality Handball. The format saw five doubles pairings, aged between 13 & 17 compete on aggregate scoring, with many of the young girls competing at national level for the first time.

The first semi-final appeared difficult to call on paper, but it was the Leinster girls who stepped up to the mark and dominating most of the games to establish a solid lead. This set the benchmark for victory, and left the Ulster girls with an uphill task to chase down the lead. In the end, a spirited fight back from the Ulster girls could not overcome Leinster, who progressed to the final on a 85-78 score. The second semi-final saw the traditionally strong Connacht girls take on Munster. The Munster girls were clearly up for the challenge and won the first 3 games to lead 63-36. The Connacht girls did win the next game but Munster closed out the last game to win 94-68.

In the 3rd/4th place playoff Ulster just proved too strong for Connacht and they won this match on a scoreline of 99-72.

The final proved to be the highlight of the day that had a large supporting contingent on the edge of their seats. Leinster went into a commanding lead after the first game with them winning it 21-4. Munster slowly clawed back by winning the next two games and to lead by 4 aces overall. The fourth game was another very tight game with little between both teams with Munster taking it by the slimist of margins 21-20 to lead 67-62 or 5 aces overall. The final game was equally as tight with them level on 5 occasions by the time it reached 11 all. In the end the experience Munster girls edged ahead to win 21-11 to the rapturous support from the Munster supporters and took the match 88-73.
