Absorbing action at Irish Junior 4-Wall Nationals

It was another brilliant weekend of Handball at the 2022 Irish Junior 4-Wall Nationals in Tyrone & Monaghan venues at the weekend.

A huge credit must go to all eight host clubs and their volunteer base for making the event possible, and providing a platform for the young Handballing stars to showcase their talents.

Mark Doyle won the 15&U title the last time we had the opportunity to host a Junior Nationals, and this time around he justified his #1 seed by winning the 19&U grade, ousting Rory Grace in the final. In the Girls 19&U, Mairead Fox came out on top of her all Tyrone final against Clodagh Munroe.

Clare's Leah Minogue had an excellent weekend, claiming her first National title in the 17&U grade, whilst Kyle Jordan avenged his recent All-Ireland Minor Final defeat over Cormac Finn to win the Boys 17&U Final.

Wexford's Joshua Roche certainly earned his maiden Nationals win, surviving a tough field and two tiebreakers before defeating Noah Manogue in the 15&U Final. Laura Duff added to her recent All-Ireland U16 win with a gripping 11-10 tiebreak win in the Girls 15&U Final.

The standard of the female grades was high all weekend, and we had a second 11-10 tiebreak win when Keeva Owens (Tyrone) defeated Cork starlet Amy Brosnan in the Girls 13&U Final. Clare's Paul Rodgers added to his All-Ireland U14 title with the Boys 13&U Nationals title.
