ABBEYKNOCKMOY HANDBALL CLUB
Abbey had another successful weekend winning the Boys 2018 Feile Division 1 title. This is the first time that a Galway team has won and we did it with a mixed team. For the first time, girls were allowed to be part of boys team, the only stipulation being that they play in a Boys division.
As our girl, Emma Kinane is a dual National title holder and another member of our team Mikey Kelly , is also a National and All-Ireland holder, we ended up in Division 1.
As you may know this was going to be a tough task but they, along with their team mates David Collins, Gavin Kelly and Darragh Maloney were more than up for it. In a dramatic final Abbey came out in front by 27 to 24 with the last score coming with 3 seconds to spare.
