*Paula Carr Whelan with her husband Donal.

Paula Carr Whelan has called time on her six year stint as a Clare Handball Officer.

Delegates from across the county expressed their sadness at the decision of the Newmarket-on-Fergus woman but also spoke of their gratitude for her “tireless work” in promoting handball in Clare at Thursday’s virtual AGM.

Awarded with a GAA Handball All-Star award in 2018 for her promotion of the game on a local and national level. Paula told the AGM that she would not be continuing as secretary, a post she took on in 2018 having served as PRO from 2014, prior of this she was PRO of Newmarket-on-Fergus Handball Club since 2010.
