Allianz Cumann na mBunscol Uladh Handball Championships 2016
Antrim Allianz Cumann na mBunscol hosted this year’s handball in Belfast at the Gort na Mona and Colaiste Feirste alleys. Indeed, Colaiste Feirste was a buzz with activity as the Minister of Education, John O’Dowd was turning the first sod on the new £11m Sport’s Facility. Head of PE, Seamus O’Touma was delighted to welcome handballers from all parts of the Province to the new alleys at Colaiste Feirste.
The quality of handball matched the facilities as the large gathering of spectators were treated to an array of talents. The handballers from Allianz Cumann na mBunscol Thir Eoghain were in sparkling form as they lifted two Ulster titles while contesting two other finals. In the u11 Boys Doubles, Gary McAleer and Eoin Donaghy overcame a determined Monaghan pair to bring the Ulster Title back to St Teresa's PS in Loughmacrory. Dearbhail Fox added to the tally at St Teresa's when she lifted the u11Girls Singles. In the u11 Boys Singles, Eoin McElholm took Sean Callan, from Monaghan, to a tie breaker while u13 pair Conor Fox and Ruairi McCullough ran the much older Monaghan boys close in their final.
