Crossakiel host successful Irish 60 x 30 Nationals weekend
Crossakiel hosted the Jun B & B doubles divisions over the weekend. Crossakiel's Eugene O' Reilly & Peter Flanagan reached the quarter-finals of the Junior B Doubles narrowly going down to Kilkenny's Lawless & Hosey by 30-31. The U-17 doubles pairings of James Baugh/Johnny Reilly and Cormac Gilsenan & Conor Rice were beaten in the 1st round. Baugh & Reilly were then beaten in the U-17 doubles plate final.
Over the weekend players from Limerick, Kerry, Roscommon, Galway, Tyrone, Wexford all played in the Crosskiel court and all were very impressed with the facilities. McCabes provided refreshments to the players over the weekend. Eugene O' Reilly having had a marathon battle with Kilkenny in the quarters still somehow had the energy for a marathon day of refereering games from 9.30 am - 9.45 p.m. Eugene was ably assisted by Steven Quinn & Mark Farrell together with Vinny Farrell. Steven & Eugene were interviewed by the TG4 cameras outside the court on Saturday. Overall it was a very successful weekend for the Crossakiel handball club showcasing its handball facilities on the nationals stage. Hopefully it wont be too long before Crosakiel will be hosting All-Ireland handball finals.

Irish 60 x 30 Nationals 2011
Crossakiel to host Men’s C doubles and Men’s B quarter-finals
O’Reilly & Flanagan aiming for 60 x 30 National honours. Club’s U-17 doubles pairs face difficult assignments
The inaugural 60 x 30 Nationals are set to take place this weekend Crossakiel will host the Mens C doubles and some games in the Men’s B. The Club will be represented in the U-17 doubles with 2 teams. Conor Rice & Cormac Gilsenan couldn’t have asked for a tougher draw as they are down to face top players at underage level. Limerick’s Padraig Quish won the All-Ireland U-16 singles when he defeated Leitrim’s Donal Wrynn in the final while Eamon Davern partnered Padraig O’Carroll to win the Minor Doubles 60 x 30 All-Ireland last year. The experience will stand to them as they will see at first hand the level this grade is at. James Baugh & Gary Reilly have the easier draw but Carlow’s Martin Mullins & Barry McMahon will push the Crossakiel players all the way.
Eugene O’Reilly & Peter Flanagan will play the winners of Cormac McMahon & Brendan McCormack or Myles Carroll & Gary Balfe in the quarter final. O’Reilly & Flanagan should do well in the Nationals and will be hoping to push for honours in this grade. Most of the 13 grades finals will be played in Kells on Sunday

Gaynor & Farrell take on Wexford in round 2 of Leinster Junior B doubles championships 2011
Leinster handball championships 60 x 30 2011
Thursday 7th July
At Arklow
8.00. JBD Michael Gaynor & Mark Farrell (Meath) v David Kenny/Diarmuid Smyth (Wexford)
Improvement required if Gaynor & Farrell are to see of the slaneysiders
Crossakiel's Michael Gaynor & Mark Farrell go into round 2 of the doubles where they will face Wexford's David Kenny & Diarmuid Smyth. Gaynor & Farrell had a good 21-18, 21-12 victory over Kildare's Gary Balfe & Myles Carroll last Saturday evening. This will be the 1st test for the Wexford men in the doubles. The Crossakiel pair have a game under their belt but struggled to put away their Kildare opponents in round 1. They will face a much sterner test this time round against the slaneysiders. Michael Gaynor is battling with a troublesome shoulder injury that has curtailed his handball in recent weeks. It should be a good contest between 2 battling teams and hopefully the Royals will come out on top in this duel.

Crossakiel players already have seen Lambert in action as in last year’s Leinster Junior B doubles final Lambert and Peter Hughes defeated Crossakiel’s Eugene O’Reilly & Peter Flanagan before going onto win the All-Ireland title.
