Munster Olympic Handball Title

Staff

Congratulations to our girls who won the Munster Olympic Handball competition yesterday in the Neptune Stadium in Cork.

The girls defeated Lisvernane NS, drew with Shandrum NS and defeated Gaelscoil Mhic Easmainn from Tralee to set up a overall decider with round 1 opponents Lisvernane.

At half time the girls were in front but the Tipperary school took control of the game heading into the final minute and led by 2 goals. However, our girls did not give up and managed to score the last 4 goals of the game to end up the winning side by a 2 goal margin.

They now go forward to represent Limerick and Munster at the All Ireland finals in April.
