Feile na nGael 2016 - Roundup

Sunday, 19th Jun 2016

The John West Féile na nGael Handball competition has once again proved to be an exceptional day of Handball as the counties young Handballers provided great entertainment and skills for all the spectators and clubs who travelled in their droves to venues across Tipperary & Waterford.

Whilst the main aim of this weekend is enjoyment and participation Saturday’s evening finals provided a fitting climax to the day. It was Windgap (Kilkenny) who came out on top in the Boys 40x20 Division 1 final, defeating Monaghan Harps in the decider, whilst Tuamgraney (Clare) won the Girls 40x20 Division 1 final with the slimiest of margins to spare with a one ace win over Loughmacrory (Tyrone).

In the 60x30 Final, it was Lahorna (Tipperary) who saw off Clogh (Kilkenny) to win this competition for the fourth year in a row. Elsewhere Tuamgraney also won the Boys Div 2 grade, there was also wins for Boherbue (Div 3 Boys), Kingscourt (Div 4), Glenbeigh (Div 5) and Annaghdown (Div 6). In the Girls Div 2 the title went to the west with Micheal Breathnach winning it and finally Clogh won the Girls Div 3.

GAA Handball would like to thank all the venues, the volunteers, coaches, parents, the Féile organising committee, and most importantly the players for contributing to such a brilliant day of Handball that will live long in their memories.
