Masters A doubles semi-final take place in Collooney Saturday

Back 05/03/2015 @ 11:57 | Handball | Masters A doubles semi-final take place in Collooney Saturday
Just after getting official confirmation that the Masters A doubles semi-final will take place in Collooney at 2 p.m. It's a stand alone fixture

It means home advantage for our players yet again following Shane Bruen's win over Clare's Tom Kirby in the Masters B singles last weekend.  

Shane Bruen & Martin Cooney from the Castleconnor Club had a narrow but exciting win over Mayo's Jason Judge & Pat Foy in the Connacht final but Saturday's battle with the Premier county's David Maloney & John O'Donoghue will see a step up in class and the Sligo pair will have to play at their optimum to get over the hurdle and hopefully "trip up" Tipperary's title ambitions.

Already through to the final is a pair that needs no introduction the legendary Kilkenny duo of Michael "Duxie" Walsh and legendary hurler D.J.Carey. What a scalp that would be for our Sligo handballers
