Handball Club
Handball is a fast-paced, indoor, team sport which is popular across the world. We play and train in St Paul's sports hall twice a week and compete in regular competitions.
Our club won the silver medal in BUCS 20/21 and the silver medal in England Handball 19/20... Join us as we push for gold medals.
