On St. Patrick's day the annual fun day for men and
women took place. This event has proven to be a most enjoyable day
for participants and spectators for the past few years and this year
was no exception. The event was organised and directed by Pat McCarthy
and it was a most enjoyable day. Many of the participants had not
played for some time and showed all present that handball skills are
alive and well in Ballymacelligott Parish. As usual Tom Roundy
McEllistrim played and proved once again why he is known as "The
Champ". The games organised were doubles and eventually after preliminary
rounds the two finalist were known. Maurice McElligott and
Billy Sullivan played Pat McCarthy and Tim McSwiney.
All games were timed and eventually to add more excitement the two
finalists were never more than two aces apart during the final. When
the timer went both teams were even and it was decided to leave it
at that. A warm thanks to Pat McCarthy who put so much work into the
organisation of the day and hopefully it will be an Annual event for
years to come.
The following juveniles from the Club were chosen to play for the
County U12/U13 team: Tim Prendiville, Denis Buckley, Liam Thompson,
Colin McSwiney, and Shane Dowling. The following were chosen to represent
the County in the U14/U15 team: Padraig McCarthy and Denis Keane.
