Crossakiel players in Leinster handball 60 x 30 championships

Crossakiel handball club will have two players involved in this years Leinster handball 60  x 30 championships, writes Michael McGee

Up first will  be Mark Farrell in the Junior C singles & doubles. The athletic looking club player is making steady progress in the past couple of years. He won the double of Meath Junior B singles (defeating Roddy Wearen) and doubles  60 x 30 championships titles last October. A strong player he will give the grade a stern test and no doubt will give a very good account of himself.  Don't be surprised to see him in the shake up for Leinster honours.  While in the doubles Mark will partner Kells man Roddy Wearen.  The new combination are also expected to do well and will pose many questions of doubles pairings in the weeks ahead.

Meanwhile the clubs other staring player Steven Quinn goes in the Junior singles grade .The mighty Quinn was the clubs first All-Ireland medal winner winning the U-14 singles 40 x 20 & 60 x 30 titles back in 1991. He had to wait another 24 years before finally making the breakthrough when winning the Over 35 B doubles with Kells man Joe Cummins.   Steven & Joe  reached last years Junior doubles final only to be beaten by one ace by Wexford's David Kenny & Eugene Kelly in Ballymore Eustace after three absorbing games of handball.  Like his club Colleague, Steven should be in the shake up for a Leinster title come August.  The club wish both players  the best luck in Leinster.
