Ballymacelligott Handball Club News 23rd June 2002


Congratulations to Sharon and Maria Daly who won the Ladies Doubles in the US Juniors in Las Vegas on Sunday last. They defeated Hall and Vanderpool 21/10, 21/10. The two girls also played in the girls U19 singles in the USA Nationals and both got through to the final. A Gortatlea, final in Las Vegas, between the Daly sisters. We have not got the result yet and the girls' success is marvellous. Both players did exceptionally well to get to the final. Maria defeated the current US Champion Courtney Peixoto 21/10 21/13 in the semi-final, which is a great achievement. Irrespective of the result the girls will be bringing the top three prizes to the club. This is one for the history books and we salute both players and their commitment to the game of handball.
