 Laois GAA Handball Review of the Year 2022
The 2022 handball season proved a hugely successful one for Laois handball with a number of
Leinster and All-Ireland successes to report. In the 40x20 courts, Laois captured two adult All-
Ireland titles with success in the Men’s Over 35B and the Ladies Junior B championship. In the
60x30 alley, Laois witnessed further All-Ireland success with Andrew Dowling and Tómas
Lennon (St. Brigid’s, Monavea) completing a remarkable double by adding the Men’s O35B
60x30 doubles title to the 40x20 All-Ireland title that they had won earlier in the year. At the
Leinster One-Wall championships hosted by Clough-Ballacolla, Laois had five finalists and four
championships successes with titles won in the Men’s Junior B, Men’s Junior, Ladies Junior B
and Girls U16 grades. The highlights of the juvenile season proved to be the remarkable success
of Féile na nGael 2022 which was hosted by Laois, Carlow and Kilkenny and the magnificent
victory by Eadaoin Whyte and Orla Brophy (Cullohill) in the Girls U17 60x30 doubles All-
Ireland final against a formidable paring in Tipperary’s Christine Percy and Ali O’Kelly.

Adult 40x20 Season:

The 40x20 season opened positively for Laois with three players progressing to Leinster finals in
the singles championship. In the Men’s O35B, Andrew Dowling (St. Brigid’s Monavea)
progressed to the Leinster final after an impressive 21-5, 21-18 victory over Fergal McWilliams
(Wexford). In the final he faced an experienced opponent in Anthony Martin (Kilkenny).
Despite a very good showing by Dowling, the Kilkenny handballer deservedly took the title on a
21-2, 21-16 score line. In the Men’s Silver Masters B championship, Ray Fogarty (Cullohill)
progressed to the final after a thrilling semi-final victory over David Redmond (Wexford) 21-9,
15-21, 11-8. Ray carried a number of niggling injuries into the final and these proved telling as
they hampered his performance on the night resulting in him narrowly losing to Robert Byrne
(Wexford) 16-21, 21-2, 11-4. In qualifying for the final, Robert Byrne had defeated Laois’ Kevin
Brennan (Clough Ballacolla) 21-6, 21-7. Laois’ third finalist in the singles championship was
Úna Brophy (Cullohill) who faced an exceptionally strong opponent in Holly Hynes (Wexford)
in the Ladies Junior B final. In the semi-final, Úna defeated a strong opponent in Dearbhail
O’Keeffe (Kilkenny). Úna played some excellent handball in the final but eventually lost out on
a score line of 21-12, 21-8. In the other semi-final, Holly Hynes defeated Úna’s sister Aoife
(Cullohill) 21-8, 21-9. Holly Hynes would go on to impressively capture the All-Ireland title at
this grade level, with the Laois girls providing her with her two sternest tests along the way.

Selected Results:

Men’s O35B Leinster Final: Anthony Martin (Kilkenny) defeated Andrew Dowling (Laois)
21-2, 21-16.

SMBS Leinster Final: Robert Byrne (Wexford) defeated Ray Fogarty (Laois) 16-21, 21-4, 11-4

LJBS Leinster Final: Holly Hynes (Wexford) defeated Úna Brophy (Laois) 21-12, 21-8

In the Leinster 40x20 doubles championship, Laois handball celebrated two Leinster successes
with Andrew Dowling and Tómas Lennon capturing the Men’s O35B Leinster title after victory
over Michéal O'Neill and Fergal McWilliams (Wexford) in the semi-final and, due to injury,
receiving a walkover from Anthony Martin and Diarmuid Burke (Kilkenny) in the final. In the
Ladies Junior B doubles, Úna and Aoife Brophy played outstanding handball to impressively
defeat Dearbhail and Roisin O’Keeffe (Kilkenny) 21-18, 21-8. Paddy Donovan and Joe Brennan
(Monavea) were exceptionally unlucky to lose out to Paul Dowling and John Brennan
(Kilkenny) in a tense tie-breaker in their Emerald Masters A doubles semi-final. Having won the
Leinster title at this grade in 2020 they unfortunately never got the chance to compete for an All-
Ireland title as Covid-19 saw the cancellation of that year’s finals. Eddie Dunne and Tommy
Kelly also bowed out at the semi-final stage going down to John Maguire and Gerry Murphy
(Kilkenny) in the Diamond Masters B.

In the All-Ireland series, Andrew Dowling and Tómas Lennon played superb handball to defeat
Shane Hayes and Darren O’Neill (Clare) in a rip-roaring semi-final contest 14-21, 21-15, 11-9.
Aoife and Úna Brophy matched the exploits of the Monavea handballers in their semi-final,
recording an impressive 21-10, 21-6 victory over Sile Spain and Eleanor Percy (Tipperary). In
the Men’s 035B All-Ireland Final, Andrew and Tómas made home court advantage count when
defeating Monaghan’s James Gavaghan and Mickey Duffy 21-11, 21-12 while in the Ladies
Junior B All-Ireland Final, Úna and Aoife showed tremendous skill and handballing talent to
defeat Siobhan Tracey and Laura Mannion (Roscommon) 21-7, 21-9. This was an especially
sweet victory for Úna Brophy, who had suffered a heart breaking 11-8 tiebreaker loss to Siobhan
Tracey in the Girls U17 All-Ireland Final the previous November.
These were two fantastic All-Ireland successes for Laois GAA handball and each of the players
much be commended for their commitment and dedication in preparing for these championships.

 Ladies Junior B 40x20 Doubles All-Ireland Final winners Úna & Aoife Brophy (Laois)

Adult 60x30 Season:

The 60x30 season kicked off in Wexford with the Softball Nationals. Laois had success at
Softball Nationals with Aoife Brophy partnering Cliódhna O' Connell of Wexford to win the
Ladies B Nationals Final against Roscommon and Wexford opponents.
The Leinster 60×30 Handball championship season started promisingly for Laois with two
players qualifying for the singles finals. Tómas Lennon qualified for Men’s O35B Leinster Final
after a pulsating 21-12, 13-21, 11-10 tie-breaker semi-final victory against Shane Terry
(Wexford) while Úna Brophy faced a daunting task when she was pitted against big alley
specialist Cliódhna O’Connell (Wexford). In the Men’s 035B final, Tómas agonisingly lost out
to Diarmuid Brennan on a 21-20, 21-15 score line while Úna Brophy was comprehensively
beaten 21-2, 21-0 by the excellent O’Connell in the Ladies Junior B final.
In the Men’s O35B Doubles Leinster championship, Andrew Dowling and Tómas Lennon
teamed up once more to great effect to take the Leinster title with resounding victories over
Colin Redmond and Keith Deveraux (Wexford) 21-7, 21-19 and Diarmuid Brennan and Brian
Bourke 21-13, 21-4. Unfortunately, despite a fantastic effort, Aoife and Úna Brophy were unable
to complete a 40x20 and 60x30 Leinster double of their own when they were defeated 21-15, 21-
8 by Cliódhna O’Connell and Cora Doyle (Wexford) in the Ladies Junior B doubles Final. With
their Leinster Final success, Andrew Dowling and Tómas Lennon advanced straight through to

Monavea pairing who completed a remarkable 40x20 and 60x30 All-Ireland Final double
success.

 Leinster One-Wall Handball Championships:
On October 30th, Clough-Ballacolla played host to the finals of Leinster One-Wall
Championships. Laois had five players advance to finals with Aoife Brophy facing Katie Barret
(Carlow) in the Ladies Junior B final, Orla Brophy (Cullohill) facing Katie Brennan (Kilkenny)
in the Girls U16 final, Kevin Brennan (Clough Ballacolla) pitted against Cathal McNamee
(Offaly) in the Men’s Junior B final, Andrew Dowling facing Kevin Barret (Carlow) in the
Men’s Junior Final and CJ Brennan (Clough Ballacolla) up against Thomas Finn (Longford) in
the Boys U14 final. Laois were incredibly unlucky not to have a sixth finalist when Paddy
Donovan was pipped 11-9 in a dramatic and tension filled tie-breaker by Declan Kilmurray
(Offaly).
In the Ladies Junior B final, Aoife Brophy mounted an impressive comeback to defeat Katie
Barret in three games 9-15, 15-8, 11-4. Further success soon followed when her sister Orla
Brophy gave a dominant display in the Girls U16 final to dispatch Katie Brennan on a score line
of 15-10, 15-7. In the Men’s Junior B Final, Kevin Brennan edged Cathal McNamee 15-14 in
the opening game before impressively securing the title with a 15-3 victory in the second game.
Andrew Dowling’s Men’s Junior Final with Kevin Barret proved to be a thrilling encounter with
little separating either player throughout. Andrew shaded the contest to record a 15-13, 15-12
victory. In the Boys U14 final, CJ Brennan played bravely throughout but ultimately lost out to
his impressive Longford opponent 15-11, 15-0.

 All-Ireland One-Wall Championship Finals:
The All-Ireland One-Wall Championship Finals were held on Saturday, 12th November in the
Convent of Mercy Secondary School, Roscommon. Laois were represented in four categories
with Andrew Dowling (Monavea) competing in the Men’s Junior, Kevin Brennan (Clough-
Ballacolla) in the Men’s Junior B, Aoife Brophy (Cullohill) in the Ladies Junior B and her sister
Orla Brophy (Cullohill) in the Girls U16..

In the Men’s Junior All-Ireland semi-final, Andrew Dowling faced a formidable opponent in
Anthony Fitzgerald (Waterford). The Waterford man was unrelenting throughout and deservedly
took won the semi-final encounter 15-2, 15-1. Kevin Brennan went into his Men’s Junior B All-
Ireland semi-final with realistic ambitions of All-Ireland success. In his semi-final he faced a
very strong opponent in Cork’s Darragh Ducey. This encounter went to tie-breaker but the
fitness levels of the younger Cork handballer proved decisive as he edged the contest 11-6 to
book his place in the All-Ireland final. In the Ladies Junior B semi-final, Aoife Brophy faced the
excellent Clodagh Neville (Limerick) in what proved to be a rip-roaring contest. In a see-saw
battle, where momentum swung back and forth several times between both players, it was the
Limerick handballer who edged a thrilling tie-breaker 11-7. In the Girls U16 semi-final, Orla
Brophy faced the daunting prospect of trying to overcome a rising handball star in Cork’s
Carmel Kelleher. In this semi-final encounter, Orla played with great heart and determination
but ultimately lost out to the Cork girl on a 15-5, 15-8 score line.

 Juvenile 40x20 Season:

The Laois juvenile handball season kicked off with the Boys’ Juvenile championships held in
January. With handball severely impacted in 2020 and 2021, it was fantastic to see a large
number of entries in each of the age groups. The standard of handball on display was excellent
throughout with some of the games decided by very close and exciting tie-breakers. In the U12
county final, Michael Brennan (Monavea) defeated Dara Brennan (Monavea). In the U13 final,

performed admirably. Emma finished these championships as runner-up to Amy Cody of
Carlow. In the Boys U17B Jack Dunphy (Cullohill) showed huge potential with some very
encouraging performance in a division that was eventually won by Luke Flanagan (Kilkenny). In

Simon Comerford, Ethan Lafferty, John Delahunty and Jimmy Whyte while in the Boys U13B,

(Kilkenny) and the girls gave a truly fantastic performance to defeat Carmel Kelleher (Cork)

victory proved crucial in helping Leinster win the interprovincial team of 10 title on a final score

year hiatus due to Covid-19 with approximately 350 players and nearly 60 clubs from right
across the country descending on Laois, Carlow and Kilkenny venues to take part in this year’s
competition. St. Brigid’s, Monavea hosted the Boys’ 40x20 Division 7 competition, Cullohill

earlier group stage loss. Amy Daly and Mairead Ryan were the opening pair for Clough
Ballacolla and they performed brilliantly, matching their opponents score for score. Modscoile

next into action, needing to overcome the deficit to capture the title for Clough Ballacolla.
Modscoile were to lead for the majority of the game, however Elizabeth and Oonagh remained
calm throughout and they showed phenomenal determination, skill and composure to win the
vital aces to claim an 18-11 ace victory and ensure that the Féile na nGael Girls’ Division 1 title

the Girls’ One-Wall skills competition.

historic treble and retain the titles they previously won in 2018 and 2019. In the final they faced
Naomh Eanna (Antrim). Liam Ryan and CJ Brennan were first into action for Clough Ballacolla
and gave a brilliant display, delivering several kill shots and deep court serves and deservedly
won the opening game 21-12. Up next were brothers Colm and Fergal Brennan who gave an
equally outstanding display of handball. Colm delivered multiple deep serves landing the ball
with unerring accuracy each time while Fergal took several aces with his power serves. Thanks
to these performances, Clough Ballacolla were crowned convincing winners with a final score
line of 21-12, 21-7.

handballers in Laois, Kilkenny and Carlow. This initiative is organised to help with the
development of the game of handball within these counties. The format for this year saw the
juvenile players receive seven weeks of consecutive coaching commencing Friday, 28th of

execute a variety of skills of the game of handball.

Irish Juvenile US Trials 2022:

Úna and Orla Brophy represented Laois at the Irish Juvenile US trials. These trials saw the elite
players at each age group play off against each other to try qualify for the Irish squad to travel to
the US.

In Orla’s U15 quarter final game she faced the hugely talented Carmel Kelleher of Cork. These
two players faced each other in the Girls U16 Wall-Ball All-Ireland semi-final and the result
went the same way as it did on that day with the Cork handballer winning out in two games.

In her semi-final she played All-Ireland 60x30 Minor Final runner-up Leah Minogue. Despite a
very good showing in the second game, the Clare handballer deservedly won through to the U19
final.

Leinster Juvenile 60x30 Championships:

Laois had two pairings reach the Leinster 60x30 juvenile championship finals. In the Girls U17
Leinster doubles final, Orla Brophy and Éadaoin Whyte (Cullohill) defeated Kilkenny’s Aisling
Cooney and Orlaith O’Shea 21-10, 21-11 in a high quality final to capture a fantastic Leinster
title for Laois. Unfortunately, Jimmy Whyte and Ethan Lafferty (Cullohill) fell just short in their
quest for a Leinster title when they were defeated 15-6 15-4 by Wexford’s Jamie Moran and
Sean Fitzharris in their U15 doubles final. Despite the loss, the Laois pairing showed great
promise in the big alley this year, most notably in their semi-final victory over Kilkenny’s Oisin
Farrell and PJ McHugh.

All-Ireland Final. The Laois pairing played scintillating handball on the day to record a hugely
impressive and well deserved 21-4, 21-10 victory. This was a remarkable achievement by the
Laois girls, considering the fact that there is no 60x30 alley within the county.
