Taking the Chair the new Chairman Steven Quinn said “ So many years have passed without our involvement in handball, which has been a great shame, but my ambition is to see the club rise from the flames & be represented at the highest level once again. In my eyes Crossakiel will once again become a handball force to be reckoned with - The club has been re-born. A very special thanks to everyone who kept believing that we could get the game up & running again.”
“The future plan is to someday have our own 40x20 court, but for now the plan is to get the game moving again. To all in the parish who have since passed away, you will always be remembered. Thank you for the inspiration & support.”
