GAA Handball 40×20 Nationals fixtures are out

Wexford will have a small but select field competing at the 40×20 Nationals finals next weekend at Carlow, Kilkenny and Laois venues.
Those in action are;
Men’s B singles – Galen Riordan
The talented Ballyhogue player who competes at Clogh will start as one of the favourites to lit the title following an impressive return to action. His first game will be against  Eddie Halligan, Cavan and he will be expected to advance.
35 & Over singles – Gavin Buggy
Buggy faces his nemesis Dominic Lynch, Kerry in the semi final and if successful here will almost certainly take on Ducksy Walsh, Kilkenny in the decider. Buggy is always capable of rising to the occasion however and it will be no surprise if he prevails in this extremely difficult field.
Masters Singles – Tommy Hynes
The strong Wexford town player has Ciaran O’Hare, Antrim and John Ryan, Carlow in his round robin group at Garryhill and although 60×30 is his preference, at his best this title should be his.
Emerald Masters singles – Benny Doyle
Doyle is the reigning All ireland champion in this grade and with a very weak field to contend with at Kells, he is odds on to add this to his collection.
Diamond Masters singles – Tony Breen
Breen will take on Sean Ryan, Carlow in his semi final at Garryhill and if he is lucky enough to survive the challenge he is likely to face the formidable All Ireland champion John Rossiter, also from Carlow in the final.
All of the fixtures are now available under the Fixtures tab on the menu bar.
