& Fire games World medals in handball writes Michael McGee
Curry’s Gerry Coleman is Sligo’s
latest handball star having come home from the 2013 World Police & Fire
games with three handball medals (five
in total) which took place in Belfast from August 1-10th last. Coleman who works as a Nursing Officer in Loughlin
House in Cavan is a member of the St. Mary’s & Collooney handball club. He
also plays his One-Wall with the Cully club. Coleman faced stiff competition
with players from Mexico, Portugal, Spain, Northern Ireland, U.S.A, &
Ireland all taking part in a strong International field.
Coleman won a Bronze medal in the
Over 40’s One-Wall, Bronze in the 40 X 20 Four Wall event, Silver in the Over
40’s doubles with L.A.P.D. Officer Oscan DeSilva. Not content with the handball medals Coleman
also won a Bronze with the Fire Service G.A.A Over-35 team and also a silver
medal in the dragon boat team of 10.
An outstanding achievement from
Gerry and I sincerely congratulate him on his World medals success in handball.
Gerry’s sensational achievement’s has given everyone in Sligo handball circles
a major boost. His tremendous feats will be one of the highlights in another
amazing year in Sligo handball.
