Ballina Handball Club

🇮🇪🏆 ALL-IRELAND CHAMPION! 🏆🇮🇪

What an incredible day for our club! Huge congratulations to Siobhan Prentice, who has been crowned the Ladies Junior B All-Ireland Wallball Champion 2026!

Siobhan showed fantastic determination throughout the day, coming through a tough semi-final against Monaghan to book her place in the All-Ireland Final against Laois.

With an outstanding display of handball, powerful serving and incredible determination, Siobhan rose to the occasion and came out on top to claim the All-Ireland title!

A massive thank you to everyone who travelled to support Siobhan and to everyone who tuned in online. A truly fantastic achievement and a very proud day for the club!

Congratulations Siobhan 👏

Hard luck to Emily Monaghan, who came up against a very strong Antrim opponent today in the Girls’ U14 All-Ireland Semi-Final 🇮🇪

Emily gave everything on the court and can be incredibly proud of her performance. She showed fantastic resilience, determination and character throughout — and did it all with a smile on her face!

Reaching an All-Ireland Semi-Final is a massive achievement, and the future is certainly bright with Emily still underage again next year!

A fantastic achievement, Emily — keep your head high and be proud of how far you’ve come. 👏

The true spirit of sport is about so much more than the scoreboard. It is about showing respect, compassion and kindness to everyone who shares the court with us. Our opponents are not enemies— they are people who challenge us, inspire us and help us grow. The friendships we build, the encouragement we give, and the moments when we lift someone up can be far more meaningful than any win. Winning is wonderful, but character lasts longer than a result. Play hard, compete with pride, but never lose sight of the person beside you. Because the greatest victories in sport are not always the ones where we finish first— they are the ones where we leave others feeling valued, respected and proud to have shared the journey with us.
