Tuamgraney was the venue last weekend for a number of Munster 60 x 30 handball finals.
In an all-Clare ladies’ minor final, Natasha Coughlan from the Clooney club defeated clubmate, Michelle Nihill, in an exciting game to win Clare’s first 60 x 30 title of the season at juvenile level.
Michelle won the first game on a 21-18 scoreline but Natasha hit back strongly and took the second on a convincing 21-5 scoreline.
She maintained that form in the third to claim the title.
