 Schools Handball
Last week’s Cumann na mBunscol an Clár competition was the most successful for Toonagh players in many years with three county titles returning to Toonagh NS. The winners were; U11 Doubles (Boys) - Cillian Cummins and Conor Coffey, U11 Doubles (Girls) Tara Lucas and Ella Casey, U13 Doubles (Boys) Aoife Cummins and Clarissa Gilmore. They now go on to represent Clare in the Munster finals on February 16.

County Handball
The County Juvenile B Championships commenced last weekend and lots of club players travelled throughout the county for their matches. In the U12B Girls competition Ella Casey, Tara Lucas and Isabelle McInerney have all reached the semi-finals and in the U13B Boys competition Daniel Guinnane has reached the quarter-finals which take place on February 15.

Munster Handball.
Pat Lynch (Toonagh) travelled to Tuamgraney on Sunday for the Emerald Masters Munster Final where he met Limerick opponent Stephen McInerney. Unfortunately it was the Limerick man who won out and now progresses to the All-Ireland semi-final in a few weeks.
Christian Cummins plays his Munster semi-final this coming Saturday, February 8, at 12 noon in Tuamgraney and it is expected that there will be a large Toonagh crowd in attendance.

Grandparents Mass.
Toonagh Hall was thronged on Friday last for the annual Grandparents Mass, with the schoolchildren from Toonagh School. It was a very special occasion, with Fr. Pat celebrating the Mass assisted by the children. Great credit is due to everyone involved in organising the day, providing refreshments and ensuring that everyone enjoyed themselves.
