Tyrone's young handballers are making a huge impression and proving extremely successful.
Sean Kerr was awarded, a well deserved, young male player of the year at the National GAA Handball awards.
In the past few years he has had an outstanding handball career. He holds a collection of All-Ireland honours at under 14, 16 and 18, all from last year.
Sean is also going down as one of the most successful underage handballers that has come out of Tyrone.
Sean isn't the only Tyrone handballer to make an impact this year.
Clodagh Munroe was expected to be crowned Ulster under 14 girls single champion at the Ulster Juvenile 40x20 championship finals yesterday.
She recently won the girls 13 and under grade at the She's Ace weekend in Breaffy, followed by a triumph in the Ulster colleges under 13 girls singles championship.
Siblings Mairead and Antoin Fox have also made a name for themselves.
Mairead was recently awarded young female player of the year and the Ulster writers handballer of the year award which she shared with her brother Antoin.
Antoin and his team mate Lorcan McBride won the All-Ireland colleges competition. This being their 6th national doubles title representing Omagh CBS.
Tyrone's youth in handball is strongly represented and is continuing to gain more followers and players who want to get involved.
