2019 Wallball Nationals - Entry Open

Entry for the 2019 Irish Wallball Nationals is now OPEN! 

400 players are again expected to make their way to Breaffy House Sports Arena, Castlebar on July 5th - 7th for another huge, family weekend of Handball. From 11&U to 65+, Beginners to the Elite, this weekend has it all!

Last year saw Conor McElduff (Tyrone) win his 4th Men's Open title, and Martina McMahon (Limerick) claim her 3rd Ladies Open title. As a result of their wins, both travelled to Minnesota as part of Team Ireland and came home with the World Men's & Ladies Open 1-Wall titles for the first time in our country's history. Despite new emerging talent, both McElduff & McMahon will be hotly fancied to continue their glory trail in the Wallball code.

We look forward to seeing you all there!
