It really was a mammoth weekend of Handball, when aside from the drama at the Senior SF's in Kingscourt, and the Juvenile SF's....there was also 44 Adult SF's, ranging from Minor up to Ruby Masters.
The Boys Minor showdown will be a Cork v Kilkenny affair as Tadhg O'Neill looked really strong in comforatbly seeing off Cormac Munroe 21-4, 21-7. In the second SF Eoin Brenna shocked Diarmuid Mulkerrins 21-9, 21-19 to reach his maiden Minor Final.
In the Girls Minors, Megan McCann (Armagh) saw off Bridin Dinane (Clare) in three games, whilst Cora Doyle (Wexford) was too strong for Aishling Mullan (Galway).
Cork will also be represented in the Intermediate Final as Tadgh Carroll took out Shane O'neill (Tyrone) 21-7, 21-20 to set up a showdown with Wexford's Daniel Kavanagh, a comfortable winner over Ian McLoughlin (Mayo).
