Bristol Handball Club is an English Handball club based in Bristol, England and founded in 2006[1] and playing in the English South West Development League, the second tier of English Handball. Although the team trains in Bristol they regularly play their "home" games at Wellington's Princess Royal Sports Complex due to lacking facilities in Bristol.
Recent history
Despite Bristol Handball not being in the top tier of English Handball the club upset Liverpool Handball Club in the 2009/10 EHA Cup in a low scoring 16-13 win against the top tier side.[2] Bristol Handball faced Manchester (one of the top three ranked teams in the country) in their Quarter Final tie and lost narrowly 30-25.[3]
Bristol Handball Club lost out on promotion to England's top level in 2011/2012 at the final hurdle, losing out in the play-offs. This being their most successful season to-date.
