ANNUAL
CONGRESS OF IRISH HANDBALL COUNCIL.
The
Handball Annual Congress for 2001 took place on Sunday 25th March
2001 in Croke Park. Four Kerry delegates were in attendance.
The meeting was a non-contentious one. In his address to the meeting
the President Peter Carter thanked all those involved in promoting
Handball at Club, County and Provincial level. He said that here
was a hugh amount of work being done by a very small group of
people. He said that he was aware that a lot of administrators
were overloaded and hoped that the Strategic Development Committee
sitting at present would come up with improvements and new ideas
that would lighten the load. He said he was well aware that all
the people involved had day jobs and he thanked them all for their
commitment.
The highlight
of the meeting for all the Munster delegates was the election
of Tony
Hayes of the Cappagh Club, in Limerick as President
elect. He defeated Tom Walsh from Lenister. It is the first time
that Munster will have a Handball President since 1990. The last
Munster President was Michael Tyrell from Tipperary who served
as President from 1988 to 1990. Mr. Hayes will serve one year
as President elect and will take over as President at Congress
2002. Tony Hayes has been involved in handball all his life. He
has been Munster Council Chairman and most recently he chaired
the National fixtures Committee. He thanked all the Counties who
proposed him and those who travelled to cast their vote on his
behalf.
