All roads lead to Croke Park this weekend for the Irish 4-Wall Junior Nationals, which double as trials for the 4-Wall World Championships in some grades.
This weekend is only for those that qualified for the quarter-finals in the main draw sections of their grades. Those who competed in the Plate competition on the qualifiers weekend do not progress to this weekend.
Listed below are the players who will travel to the National Handball Centre in Croke Park (D03 P6E5), to compete for Junior Nationals honours and in the case of the 15 & Under, 17 & Under, and 19 & Under, compete for a chance to represent Team Ireland at the World Championships in October.
