ONE-WALL HANDBALL
Lough Showdown; Last weekend saw Loughmacrory Handball Club host its annual “Lough Showdown ” event. This is only its third year in their new one-wall arena but it has fast become one of the biggest and best tournaments of the handball calendar. This year there were over 250 handballers from every corner of the country and a number of international players competing. Monaghan had a number of players testing their skill namely ,Pete Larkin, Paul Cassidy, Padraig Mc Geogh, Aiden Mc Geogh, Sean Callen and Fergal Magee. Sean Callen had an exceptional weekend,winning through to the final in a very u/11 grade. In the final Sean met Kyle Jordan who is undoubtedly one of the top players in the world at this age group. The competition brought out the best in Sean as he played some inspired handball but inevitably lost out to Kyle’s experience. A great weekends handball was had by all and we look forward to next years Showdown.
