written by Chris McNulty August 18, 2018

Avril McNamee advanced to the Female Singles 4-Wall (Small Ball) B semi-finals at the 2018 World Handball Championships in Minnesota.

The Sean MacCumhaills clubwoman overcame Julie Creemers, from Minnesota, 21-5 21-6 in an excellent quarter-final win yesterday.

McNamee overcame Creemers with little fuss to tee up a meeting with Linda Connolly from Roscommon, who has beaten Americans Katherine Lucas and Mary Troullier to reach the last four.

The semi-finals take place at the University of Minnesota today.

Yesterday, McNamee was pipped by Meadbh Ní Dhálaigh in one of the ‘A’ quarter-finals.
