Any of you guys watch Handball? I have been playing and loving it over the last few months and we actually have qualified for the world champs this year! We play our first game against croatia on the 13th at 1.45am AEST (2.45am daylight time) in madrid!

This is the mens competition http://handballspain2013.com/

Our womens side will be playing the Ocenia Handball tournament in may/june to try to qualify for the 2013 womens world championships in Serbia in december!

I won a bronze medal at Australian uni games with my uni in 2012 and will be looking to go for gold in 2013
