Schoolyard Handball Competition

Overview

Brisbanites really don't do anything by halves. If we like a kind of food, then every second corner seems to be selling it — and if we're start getting into a particular pastime, then it just keeps on popping up.

Take handball for example, with the sport bouncing back into the city in a big way. Not only is there an annual festival dedicated to it, but now there's a Sunday arvo smackdown at Woolly Mammoth.

Yes, those keen for an end of weekend sesh with their mates can add the game we all played at lunchtime to the agenda. Schoolyard rules apply, though points will also be awarded for aces, the best heckle and the best cheer squad. Plus, because the comp is sponsored by Stone & Wood Brewing, the winners will receive a stack of beer as high as their tallest team member. That's as good a reason to jump on the bandwagon of revisiting this childhood activity as any.
