After a year of stand out success for Sligo handball in 2022, 2023 has started well with brother and sister duo Cormac and Laura Finn  advancing to All Ireland Handball Semi Finals to take place this weekend.

In the Ladies Junior A grade, Laura plays Aoife Brophy (Laois) in the Semi Final on Saturday in Kingscourt. Laura had impressive wins on route to the final defeating Caragh Kennedy (Roscommon) in the last 16 and Aoife Kelly (Tyrone) in the quarter final. 

Cormac Finn captured the Connacht U21 Title on Sunday in Moycullen defeating Galway's Joe Gallagher in the Semi Final and last year's All Ireland U21 finalist Lorcan Conlon of Mayo in the final. Cormac now faces Joe Devereaux (Wexford) in the Semi Final also in Kingscourt on Saturday. 

If Laura and Cormac are successful in their respective Semi Finals, the Finals will be played this Sunday, also in Kingscourt.

Hard Luck to Josian Oskoz who was defeated in the Silver Masters B Connacht Final to Galway opposition in a tiebreak.
