The draws for next weekends Irish Wallball Nationals at Breaffy House Sports Arena, Castlebar have now been released, and another huge weekend lyes in store with just under 400 players ranging from 11&U through to 70+ in action.
All players/parents are asked to be aware of the following information:
- Times listed are estimates. Players must be prepared to play earlier or later than the listed match time.
- Requests for changes will not be entertained. A jam packed schedule involving 7 courts from 12 noon on Friday through to 5pm Sunday evening has been devised and thus leeway for changes is minimal to non existent.
- Please respect that one mere change request has several knock on requests for other players and grades.
- Pre-assigned Plate Draws for first round losers will be displayed at the venue. Plates will be in a Doubles format, & players cannot request to pick their own partners.
- All first round losers who do not wish to play the Plate must inform the Tournament Desk immediately. If the Tournament Desk is not informed, then it is expected the Player will compete in the Plate.
- Please email development.handball@gaa.ie if you need to withdraw from this event.
Draws updated Thursday 29th June
**Volunteer Referees Needed**
Scheduled referees will be in place throughout the weekend to ensure a smooth and efficient event. 100 referee slots must be filled over the course of the weekend. Without volunteer help, this is not possible. Please contact National Development Officer Darragh Daly on development.handball@gaa.ie if you are willing to offer your refereeing services.
- All volunteers referees will receive a free lunch pack on the day of their volunteering, and no one will be asked to referee a grade they are uncomfortable with. Your help is greatly appreciated.
