Juvenile Handball 40 x 20 All Ireland Semi-Finals.
Five juvenile Kerry players contested the Juvenile Handball All
Ireland Semi-Finals on Sunday the 2nd of April in Kilkenny. It was
a very disappointing result for Kerry when all the players lost
but it is no mean achievement to have five players from one club
playing in All Ireland Semi Finals. Pat McCarthy , the team coach,
who travelled with the group said that it was disappointing for
The County but that the Handball skills displayed by the Lenister
players proved to be that little bit better on the day.
U14 Girls. Sandy McSwiney (Kerry) lost to Emer Fallon, Kildare
in a very close match. The result was 15/9, 15/13.
U16 Boys. Denis Casey (Kerry) lost to Richard Walsh (Wicklow)
21/7,21/7.
U14 Doubles Maurice Nolan and Brian Mullhall (Kilkenny) were
victorious over Shane Twomey and Gene Griffin of Kerry when they
beat them 15/10, 15/10.
U15 Singles. The final match with Kerry interest finished
with Paul Moran ( Kildare) beating Gary O Connor (Kerry) by 21/16,
21/18.
