Killarney

<h3>&lsquo;She&rsquo;s Ace&rsquo;, the prestigious All-Ireland Ladies Handball championship takes place this weekend in Tyrone.</h3>
Kerry will be well represented at the event with a strong team of players expected to add to their glowing reputations, and places in the finals a realistic goal.
It will be a memorable weekend for the Spa/Killarney Handball Club who will have three players in the &lsquo;Ladies Challenger 1 Wall&rsquo; competition with debutants Aoife Walsh (Currow), Niamh Faulds (Glenflesk) and Sinead Moriarty (Spa) flying the club colours.
Moriarty, the recent winner of the Spa/Killarney Tournament, looks a real threat in this competition which has been capped at 20 players. She showed wonderful skill and composure when she won the &lsquo;Ladies Challenger 1 Wall&rsquo; tournament in Spa just before Christmas.
&ldquo;This is a very strong Kerry contingent and the first time so many women from the County will participate in this competition. Ladies handball in Kerry is on the rise and a win in any of the competitions will be a massive boost for the sport in Kerry. The Spa/Killarney Club is honoured to have three promising young players competing and they are the flag bearers in the development of the sport in the Killarney and East Kerry region,&rdquo; said Eoin O&rsquo;Donoghue, secretary of the Spa/Killarney Handball Club.
The championships, began yesterday (Thursday) across several venues in Tyrone, and will conclude on Sunday.
