Crossakiel's Michael McGee wins Connacht Handball Title
McGee makes handball history for Crossakiel
Crossakiel club man and Sligo player Michael McGee along with Martin Cooney won the Masters B doubles Connacht Championships 60 x 30 title in Williamstown Co. Galway.
Mayo’s Joe Dowling & James Towey were overwhelming favourites as they already have taken the 40 x 20 All-Ireland doubles title in the same grade and were aiming for the double. Sligo started very well but Mayo came back strongly and took game one by 21-17. Martin Cooney was in outstanding form all day and nullified the dangerous Dowling on the left. McGee with some expert serving to Towey’s right side gained many important scores. Sligo taking game two by 21-12. In the final game McGee’s serving helped to put Sligo into a big lead of 13-1. Mayo came more into the contest but the Sligo men held firm eventually taking the Provincial title by 21-9. It was the Club’s first adult provincial title in the clubs history since the club formed way back in 1920.
