Handball News: Hard Luck to Sophie Kane in All-Ireland Semi-Final

Fenagh’s talented young handballer Sophie Kane saw here excellent season come to an end at the All-Ireland Juvenile Wallball U14 girls’ singles semi-finals on Saturday last. Competing in Kilglass, Co. Roscommon, Sophie was defeated by the eventual champion Nina McBride from Co. Antrim after a spirited performance.

While things didn’t go her way this time, Sophie can take immense pride in her achievements throughout the season. She will have gained valuable experience from this year’s All-Ireland series, and is sure to come back even stronger next year when she remains eligible for U14 competition.

Everyone in Leitrim Handball is incredibly proud to have Sophie represent our county in the All-Ireland finals. Congratulation on a fantastic wallball season, Sophie, and well done on all your accomplishments this year.
