National Cumann Na mBunscoil Day 2017

Over the last few weeks, counties and provinces alike have been running their Cumann na mBunscoil playoffs. The winners of which, partake in one of the biggest juvenile events of the year; the 2017 GAA Handball National Cumann Na mBunscoil Day. 

The event will take place Saturday, 25th February, in Kingscourt HC, Cavan. As usual, it will be running over the course of one day with the Boys taking the center stage at 10:00am while the Girls take over the spot light at 1:00pm.

This fun based event encompasses 48 young players in U11 & U13 age groups from all corners of the country. It provides them with three guaranteed matches (both in singles and doubles) against players from the other provinces.

In what is an added bonus for our young stars of the future, 4 stars of the present will be in action from 4pm in the 2017 O'Neill's 40x20 Senior Singles Championship, with two exciting QF matches scheduled for a 4pm start, immediately after the CnaB play finishes. This is a great opportunity for the young players to see Handball played at the highest level for free entry. In action is Westmeath's Robbie McCarthy, (the current three time All-Ireland champion), Michael Gregan (2015 US Open Doubles Finalist), Diarmuid Nash (2014 All-Ireland Finalist) & Martin Mulkerrins (Current Irish #3).
