ATTENTION INTERESTED STUDENTS

I hope this message finds you well. My name is Peter McCreesh, and I am writing to you on behalf of the Irish Collegiate Handball Association (ICHA). We are the governing body responsible for organising all third-level GAA Handball competitions in Ireland, aiming to foster the growth and popularity of the game among students across the country.

We are excited to announce our upcoming tournaments for the 2024-2025 academic year and would like to invite any interested players from your institution to participate. Our events are an excellent opportunity for students to engage in this dynamic sport, develop their skills, and represent their colleges on both national and international stages.

The schedule for our upcoming tournaments is as follows:

  • 40x20 Doubles: 11-13 October 2024 in Dublin
  • Wallball: 29 November - 1 December 2024 in Killarney, Co. Kerry
  • 40x20 Singles: 31 January - 2 February 2024 in Belfast, Co. Antrim
  • 60x30: 18-20 April 2025 in County Sligo



Additionally, we are proud to represent Irish colleges annually at the American Handball Collegiates, which will take place from 19-23 February 2025 in Portland, USA. This international event provides a fantastic platform for our students to compete at a high level and gain invaluable experience.

We are keen to spread awareness of GAA handball across all third-level institutions in Ireland and would greatly appreciate your support in promoting these events within your college. Should you have any questions or wish to arrange a call to discuss further, please do not hesitate to contact us in direct response to this email.

If you would like to learn more or require any further support developing handball within your institution, please feel free to reach out to Clare Conway via her email below:

Best regards,
