St Mellans Handball Club hosted the county’s first ever “U10 & U11 County Championships” with strong attendance from St Mellans and Corduff clubs entering both age groups with boys & girls mixed together, play started at 1pm and we had all wrapped up at half past 5 and by that time had completed a main and plate competitions in both age groups, it was great to see so many young players taking part at such a young age, the composure and skill level on display from players as young as 8 years old was superb, in the U10 section there was an all St Mellans club final with Keegan Treanor (B) taking on James Treanor (M), and as all finals should this went down to the wire in a tie-breaker, Keegan took the first game 11-9, James fought back in the second game and took it 11-5 to force the 3rd and final game, both players showed great timing and play as they pulled off great shots from all corners of the court, it was point for point until Keegan got over the line 11-9 to secure his first county title. In the plate section of the U10’s Killian Sherry made the final, there he faced Ryan Gilsenan from Corduff, the plate section was a single game format, Killian battled well but just lost 11-8, again another great display from such a young player, then in the U11 section Aoibhinn Treanor won the plate final, again single game format, Aoibhinn took on Daragh Gilsenan of Corduff in the final, and she won it 15-11 with some great serves down both sides of the court, well done Aoibhinn, also in the U11 main section Caoimhin Mc Meel lost a tough fought semi-final 11-7 in the tie-breaker, again all has to be commended on their displays of all skills required throughout, a big thank you to Annette & Joanne for setting up refreshments and to Ashling and Danielle for helping with the hand out of refreshments, and a massive thanks to Mark & Paddy for refereeing for the full afternoons proceedings,, well done men. Big thank you to Brendan and Peadar for organising the Championships and to the St Mellans Club for hosting what was a great days handball!
