Final anguish for Aoife Quinn

Aoife Quinn’s attempt for an historic first Juvenile A handball title for Sligo ended in disappointment following her 15-10, 15-5 defeat to Cork’s Katie Fleming. The finals were played in O’Loughlin’s Kilkenny. The Castleconnor club star gave her all in a brave bid to become champion. Cork’s Katie Fleming more clinical finishing play proved decisive in what was a close and exciting encounter. Aoife can be very proud of her efforts in reaching the final an excellent achievement in itself. It can only be a matter of time before Aoife Quinn makes that historic breakthrough in Sligo handball that we are all waiting for patiently. Congratulations to her Dad, Oisin who has steered and coached Aoife to a very high standard.
