A RECORD number of teams are set to battle it out for a place in Europe at the British University Championships at Nottingham University on February 19-20.
Around 30 teams from as far apart as Glasgow, Bournemouth, London, Edinburgh and Southampton will compete at the 2011 BUH Championships, demonstrating the continued growth of Handball as we look to the future beyond London 2012.
The winning BUH Championship teams will go forward to the EUSA European Universities Handball Championships in Rijeka, Croatia, later this year, representing another major step up for all our British University players.
Entry to the event is free for spectators and the standard of handball is bound to be high. And once you’ve seen the sport in action you’ll also be chasing for London 2012 Handball tickets!
GB Men’s team captain Ciaran Williams will be in attendance and refereeing, while British Handball’s performance Director Lorraine Brown and women’s team manager Mel Chowns will also be there scouting for future international talent.
