Mollie Dagg from Leixlip in action at the the Irish Collegiate Handball Association 3rd level 40x20 singles championship
Leixlip's Mollie Dagg continued her good form in 2025 by winning the Irish Collegiate Handball Association (ICHA) 3rd level 40x20 singles championship. Representing her college SETU Waterford, the Nutrition and Exercise Science student came through a tough semi-final tie breaker against Leah Minogue of University of Limerick to set up a final show down with reigning champion Amy Brennan of DCU. Dagg would drop the first game on a scoreline of 15-11 only to turn it around and win the next game 15-2 and the tiebreaker 11-1.
The Kildare woman recently reached the semi-final of the She's Ace tournament where she was beaten by eventual winner and Irish number one Martina McMahon.
This good form in the early part of the season leaves her ranked number four in the country. Dagg is currently juggling college, work, and training, but is hoping to make 2025 a big year on both the national and international stage.
