Castleconnor A team gain league honours in Sligo Handball league final
Castleconnor A shocked Sligo I.T to claim the 2011 40 x 20 league title following their 78-74 success over the students played in Castleconnor last evening. Sligo I.T. who remained unbeaten up to the final found the Castleconnor A team up for the test. Sligo I.T. was forced to line out without their talisman player Christopher McKenna. McKenna was replaced by Newport’s man Noel McLoughlin.
The 1st doubles match was very even with Castleconnor’s Mark Murphy & Larry Jones taking on Barry McGuirk & Aimee Corrigan. At the end the Students held a slender 39-36 advantage. Castleconnor’s 2nd doubles pairing of Michael Browne & Joe Gorman immediately set about overturning the students lead. The duo were rewarded when playing some cracking handball in front of their fervent supporters, on their way to an 21-19, 21-16 success over the I.T.’s Noel McLoughlin & Aoife McDonagh. Browne & Gorman’s greater resilience proved just enough for the Castleconnor team to record an 78-74 win.
Afterwards Sligo Handball Chairman Michael McMorrow presented the winners and runners-up with their trophies.
