Connacht Adult Wallball Finals

Hard luck to Ed Lee who was defeated in the Diamond Masters Connacht Wallball final in Galway on Sunday. Ed played very well and was narrowly defeated in two sets.

Wallball Juvenile All Ireland Championship 

The very best of luck to Sophie Kane who represents her club, county and province next Saturday in Kilglass in the All Ireland Girls U14 semi finals following her Connacht final win a fortnight ago. Connacht plays Ulster so she comes up against Antrim opposition in her semi final. We are all behind you Sophie.
