Handball Club. (1) In
the All-Ireland Club 40 x 20 championships Kells Junior B Team of Brendan
Burke, Diarmuid Burke, C.J. Delaney, Anthony Martin and Dan Breen travelled to
Salthill, Galway on Saturday 1st December, 2012. They defeated
Nenagh, Co. Tipperary and Coolgreaney, Co. Wexford.  In the final they fought off stiff
competition when they met Broadford, Limerick winning out by 8 aces.  This win follows on from their recent
Provincial Interclub Junior B Team win. Congratulations to all the Kells lads on
two great achievements.

semi-final.  They then met last year’s
Open Team winners UCD’s Martin Mulkerrins, Sam Temple, Marc McGowan and Barry
Nash in the final.  The final went down
to the wire but in the end WIT won out with 11 aces to spare.  WIT had then completed the Team double as
they added this 40 x 20 All-Ireland Inter-Varsity’s team title to their 60 x 30
team win of a month ago.
