Report

The Irish Nationals for Women were started in 1995, with Antrim providing the lions share of winners – the top three spots on the Roll of Honour belong to Fiona Shannon (6 wins), Aisling Reilly (5 wins) and F. McKenna (4 Wins) – all Antrim.

The most recent champion has been Caitriona Casey of Cork who has won the last two, while B. Hennessey of Limerick (3 wins) and Kerry’s M. Daly and Canada’s L.F. Gilmore (1 apiece) complete the list of winners.

About

Handball is one of the Gaelic Athletic Association’s Charter sports of 1884. It is played on a court with three walls, and is very similar to the Handball played in America, Australia, Canada, and the variations on Handball, Pelota and Wallball played throughout Western Europe, and are all probably of the same origin.

Report

Basque Pelota is one of those forgotten Gaelic, Celtic or Atlantic Games like Scottish Shinty or Welsh Baseball. It is the Basque people’s version of Handball and would undoubtedly have a similar origin.

ASPE is one governing body for the Professional Game in the Basque Country. The Campeonato Cuatro y Medio (4 1/2 Championship) is a version of the game played on a four-sided court with walls on half the sides (hence 4 1/2). Unlike Handball, a curved glove is used to propel the ball at a very high speed against the walls.

Olaizola II has been the most successful player since the Millennium, winning the title on seven occasions.

Wallball is a version of the sport which attempts to unite the various versions of the sport played worldwide and the European Wallball Tour is a Pro Tour with events in Belgium, Spain, Netherlands and UK.
