Recognitions 2010
Was checking the EHF website and I saw the 2010 ranking for Club teams. I thought that too often the good work of the handball community passed un-noticed and unrecognised. Ireland left the bottom line of the EHF Club ranking thanks to Dublin International and Astra.
The Irish Handball family should be grateful to all these players for giving to Ireland a higher profile.
So, I would like to use this post to say THANK YOU to a few people that in my opinion did something important to develop and give high profile to Handball in Ireland.
I would like other people to join me and add comments and more THANK YOU to more people.
-Robert Hamm, Conall Collier, Olena Karpenko and Andres Eiriksson for re-organising the National Competition for Junior and schools. THANK YOU.
-Lauren Sweeney for attending the EHF Youth Coaches Seminar and put once again Ireland on the map of Europen Handball. THANK YOU.
-The Astra Ladies team for coming back from the EHF Challenge Cup with EHF ranking points that moved Ireland from the bottom of the ranking, leaving behind ENG and SCO and others. THANK YOU.
-The Dublin International Men's team for coming back from the EHF Challenge Cup with an hystoric win that boosted Ireland further up in the EHF ranking. THANK YOU. and Thank you for keeping an Irish Team in relevant EHF competitions for the 4th year in a row.
