Congratulations to Conor Matthews who won two silver medals at the World Handball Wallball Championships in New York. 

Conor and his partner Tito Patrizi won silver medals for the Boys’ Under-15 Big Ball championship and for the Boys’ Under-17 Small Ball championship. 

The championships were a great triumph for members of the Mullingar Handball Club  who return from New York with 2 gold, 7 silver and 1 bronze medal in their luggage. Congratulations to all involved. 

This group of players worked incredibly hard in the build-up to the championships, putting in countless hours of training, dedication, commitment and hard work to prepare for the New York challenge.

Conor is a member of Mullingar Shamrocks Under-16 team and it was his great save in last year’s Under-16 county football final that made the after extra-time victory possible.
