The Ballina Handball Club was put on the World Map when Clubmen Fergal Collins & Ger Coonan Put in some Great displays in the USHA Handball Nationals in Los Caballeros, Orange County, California. Against all odds the two Ballina Clubmen reached the final of the Mens A  Singles after coming through some fierce opposition from the Home players. The Final was one of the best games of the Championships and the players got a standing ovation from the huge crowd after the game. Coonan got off to the better start and with some great serving and all round skills took the first game 21/15. In the second game Collins had to force the play and looked in full control leading 19-11. Coonan steadily grew in confidence and with some great passing shots pulled back the aces and suddenly there was only a 1 point gain. Collins made it to 20 but on 3 occasions missed the vital Kill shot and Coonan levelled at 20 all. In a pulsating finish Collins finally got in to take the game 21/20. In the Tie Break Coonan took control and went in to a lead of 8-3. With both players tiring mistakes were being made and Collins took full advantage and in determined fashion went on to win 11-8 to take the Mens A USHA Title.

Coonan teamed up with Patrick Clerkin in the Mens  A Doubles and after a tough battle against Americans Victor Perez & Pat Jarvis  they took the doubles title winning 21/19, 21/17.

Not content with 2 USHA titles a third was added when Fergal Collins took to the Court in the 19 & Under final. He was up against the hard hitting American Chris Maldonado from Tucson. Collins found it hard to deal with the power in the first and went down 21/3. In the second game a change of tactics by the Ballina man saw the American struggle and Collins took the second 21/2. In the Tie Break Maldonado powered his way to an 8/3 lead but once again a determined Collins dug deep and with some great Kill shots turned the game around and won 11-8 .

It was great to watch the games Live on the Webcast and well done to the Organisers on a great Tournament.
