Report

The Men’s Challenge Trophy was the European Handball Federations competition for emerging Nations. Having competed with club sides & countries like Greenland in the mid-1990s, Ireland entered this competition for the first time in 1999.

In Ireland’s fifth time entering the competition in 2009, they were placed in a Western Group involving Finland, who were hardly an emerging Nation at Olympic Handball, Malta & Scotland.

Ireland had a disappointing opening loss to Malta, before defeat to eventual Champions Finland. They won their last match 35-29 to finish off bottom for the second Challenge Trophy in a row, although more could have been expected following their showing in 2007.

Finland went on to win the Trophy, 30-28 in the Final against defending Champions Georgia.

About

Olympic Handball, sometimes called Team Handball or European Handball, is a team sport similar to Indoor Soccer or Futsal, except hands are used rather than feet.

The object of the sport is to pass the ball using only the hands in order to get into a semi-circle around the opposing teams goal, where a shot may be taken. Each score counts as one goal, and the court is the exact same as a Futsal court indeed Futsal was invented as an Indoor version of Soccer, using the Olympic Handball court.

The sport was invented in Germany & Northern Europe at the end of the 19th Century & beginning of the 20th Century.

Report

The Men’s Challenge Trophy was the European Handball Federations competition for emerging Nations. Having competed with club sides & countries like Greenland in the mid-1990s, Ireland entered this competition for the first time in 1999.

In Ireland’s fifth time entering the competition in 2007, they eventually finished off the bottom, with a win over Scotland and a draw with Malta in their five matches

The Tournament was doubled in size for 2007, with a separate tournament in Eastern & Western Europe, with the two winners meeting in the final.

The Western Tournament started off like the four previous Challenge Trophy’s for Ireland with three straight defeats, although a much better display was put on by Ireland, with a draw with Malta in their fourth match (25-25) and victory over Scotland in their last match by a score of 27-23 giving Ireland their first points since 1999 in the tournament. Ireland finished off bottom for the first time ever, with fourth place of six in the Western Tournament.

Newcomers Georgia defeated two-time defending Champions Moldova on the way to a narrow 28-27 victory over Luxembourg in the Final.

In Ireland’s second time entering the competition in 2001, they found the task even harder than in 1999, with newly independent countries like Estonia & Latvia, where the sport has been played for decades, dominating.

Ireland and Malta (the only team they beat in 1999) were outclassed by the more established emerging nations, and again met in the last placement match, where this tome Malta won 32-21, leaving Ireland with a record of 5 losses from 5 matches.

Report

Olympic Handball, also known as Team Handball, or European Handball,  is a team sport invented in Northern Europe around the early 1900s. It is similar to Water Polo, whereby players try to throw a ball with their hands into a goal at either end. It is played indoors on the same court as a Futsal court, with the same markings.

Players aren’t allowed run with the ball but on receiving it have to pass it to a team-mate. The goal is to get into a semi-circle around the opposing team’s goal where the attacking player can make a shot.

Dublin International, based in Blanchardstown, won the double in 2011-2012, defeating surprise team DCU in the Final after winning the League, but were shocked the following season, 35-31, in the Final by Ballinteer’s Astra.

Astra would win the League in 2013-2014, but Dublin International would win the Final, repeating as winners the next year, 37-31 over UCD, after Astra had won the League only to be shocked by UCD in the Semi-Finals.

The 2015-16 season would see Dublin International win the double, again defeating UCD in the Final, on a scoreline of 27-21. Dublin City Handball would finally get their hands on the Trophy in 2016-17, winning the double by beating Astra 26-18 in the Final. After winning the League again in 2017-18, Dublin City would fall short in the Final, losing 28-26 to Dublin International, the old guard winning back the Trophy they had won every second year since 2012.
