There will be huge celebrations in Leixlip in the coming days after two of their finest sporting exports secured another piece of major silverware this week.

Mollie Dagg and Leah Doyle captured the U19 One Wall World Championship Doubles title in handball this week in Minnesota, USA, adding to a growing list of honours for the two girls. They won a nailbiting final in straight games, winning 21-19 and 21-18 to capture the title.

There was more success for Leah in the singles competition on Tuesday as she claimed the U17 One Wall World Championship title.

An amazing achievement by both girls and one to be very proud of.
