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 third time entering the competition in 2003, they lost all their matches for the second time in a row, although this time they came close against tiny Liechtenstein in the group phase, losing 23-22, only to lose by a wide margin (31-18) in the 5th-6th place playoff to the same opposition.

Moldova won the Tournament this time around, after losing the previous two finals.

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

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.

Hungary and Serbia Qualify for 7th IKF European Korfball Championships. Ireland placed in First Reserve and Qualified after Russia Withdrew.[5]

About

Korfball is a Dutch variation on Basketball or Netball. Teams are evenly split between men and women, and positions are fixed in zones like in Netball. After two scores by either side the attackers and defenders swap roles, making it a total tam game. Each score is worth 1 Goal.

Report

The IKF European Championships Round 1 are the Qualification Round for the IKF European Championship Finals. In 2016 Ireland failed to Qualify, finishing a disappointing 5th of 6 with 1 win from 5 matches.

Ireland did, however, qualify for the 2018 IKF European Korfball Championship Finals, after Russia withdrew. The Irish team won 3 of its 5 matches, and finished 3rd of 8, making up for the previous qualifying round in 2016.
