40x20 Inter-club Championships 2017

This year's 40x20 Inter-club Championships takes place in central venues this Saturday 2nd December as Mullingar, Leixlip and Curraghboy play host to the top handball club teams as they battle for All Ireland success.

The Open competition which is being played in Mullingar, Westmeath is very hard to call, but former winners Kells of Meath will fancy their chances of winning this title for a fourth time. The Kells team is a very strong unit and with the added advantage of them receiving a bye in the semi-final makes their chance of winning a lot easier. But the teams in the other half of the draw namely Mallow (Cork) and Breacach (Tyrone) will have their own views as they play for their illusive first 40x20 Open title. Breacach will hope to go one better than last year when they were just pipped in the final by Kells (Kilkenny). The final is fixed for 2pm and by Saturday night we will know which of these very strong club teams will be crowned the 2017 40x20 Open club team of the year - let the battle begin.

In the Junior competition Kilworth (Cork) face Saval (Down) in the first semi-final in Leixlip at 11am followed by St. Brigids (Roscommon) against Tinryland (Carlow). The final is down for decision at 4pm also in Leixlip.

Finally in the Junior B competition the action kicks off in Curraghboy at 11am with Ballydesmond (Cork) taking on Breacach (Tyrone) in the first semi-final following by Newport (Mayo) versus Ballymore Eustace (Kildare) at 1.30pm. The final is due to start at 4pm also in Curraghboy.

A great days Handball is in store at these venues as the 2017 GAA Handball season comes to an end, please show your support for all your club teams that are in action this Saturday 2nd December.
