Handball News: Golden Gloves Win | Annual Church Gate Collection

The 2025 4-wall handball season got underway this weekend with the Annual Golden Gloves tournament in Co. Antrim. Over 200 players from across the country took part, including Annaduff’s Maxim Gilmartin and Adam Neary.

It was a mixed weekend for the two Annaduff players. Maxim Gilmartin had a strong performance, winning the Boys’ 15 and Under C Championship on Saturday. However, Adam Neary’s tournament was cut short after he injured his shoulder during his first match in the Boys’ 13 and Under category on Sunday.

Congratulations to Maxim on his impressive win, and we wish Adam a speedy recovery.
