Handball must get coverage it deserves

I AM an avid reader of the Irish Examiner for many years and I must congratulate you on your annual National Junior Sports Awards.

However, I am somewhat disappointed there there wasn’t any handball category this year.

As PRO of the Roscommon Handball County Board, I was disappointed that no one from the sport appeared among your winners earlier this year.

I made a submission for Marianna Rushe who won two World titles in Canada in August and at Christmas in Kansas won two USHA junior titles. Here at home she won six All-Ireland titles.

She is one of several players that put in a huge amount of time and effort with little or no funding to reach their goal.
