Two Handball teams represent Waterford at Feile.

Handball is a GAA Sport by my own admission I don’t give enough coverage to on here.

This is a big weekend for the sport in Waterford as two teams from the county make the long trip north over the course of the weekend to take part in the National Féile Finals which this year are held across Ulster.

St Augustine’s College Handball team and Abbeyside Handball team will compete in three and will compete in Saval.

The draw has been kind to both teams which will compete in different groups meaning that there is the possibility that both can meet in the final on Sunday afternoon.

Saint Augustine’s College team are drawn in group one while Abbeyside are drawn in group two.

The college team has their first game on Saturday morning at 10am when they play Kildare side Leixlip and play again at noon when they face Salthill from Galway.

Abbeyside play their first game at 2pm when they play Ballyporeen and an hour later they are back in action when they take on Saint Joseph’s from Wexford.

The semi finals of the competition are fixed for 4pm and 5pm on Saturday evening. The winners from group one are first up playing the second placed team in group two and then it is the turn of the group two winners to play the group one runners up.

The winners of the two semi finals will meet in the final on Sunday at noon with the plate final going ahead at the same time.

Each match at Féile is the first to 21, but should no team reach 21 points after 20 minutes of play, the game will stop and the team that is leading at the time will be deemed to be the winners. Players will also be allowed two thirty second time outs per game for which the clock will be stopped.
