Each weekend, we select performances from Irish sports that deserve recognition. This weekend, we highlight action in Handball, participation, Rugby and Inclusive Football

This week’s Champions of the Weekend is brought to us by AIB, one of Sport for Business’s key partners and supporters of our coverage of Gaelic Games.

 

Martina McMahon and Gary McConnell

McMahon from Limerick and McConnell from Meath won their respective National Handball Singles titles over the weekend in Abbeylara, County Longford.
Munster Women’s Rugby

Munster came to Energia Park as defending Vodafone Interpro Champions, and their 33-22 defeat of Leinster puts them in pole position to retain the title this year.
Sport Ireland

Hundreds of activities concluded over the weekend to celebrate Her Outdoors Week across the country.
