Ballymacelligott Girls reach finals of World Championships in Chicago

Maria & Sharon Daly took part in the World Championship Games in Chicago over the past week. Sharon played in the U19 age group, Maria in the U15 age group. Both girls teamed up to play in the U19 doubles but were unlucky to lose to two American girls in the World Final. Maria got to the U15 world final and her opponent was Patricia Doyle of Wicklow. These girls have met on a lot of occasions and true to form this game went to a tiebreaker. Patricia Doyle won the tiebreaker 11/8. This was a truly remarkable achievement for the two Ballymacelligott girls. To have two players in a World championship final is a great feat. Not many players can boast of this. Kerry Handball Board are tremendously proud of both girls.
