The Christian Brothers and Handball in Australia
The Orientation booklet from Rostrevor includes the following comment about the facilities at Rostrevor:
It was not until 1955 that Br Mogg re-visited the issue of the Handball courts in his Annual address - “In a few weeks’ time, Rostrevor will have the three finest Handball courts in the Commonwealth – at a cost of £6,500. When these are completed, this College will have unrivalled facilities for every branch of sport”.
Amongst the Brothers themselves there were keen competitions, and the Kelty Archives contains material associated with the organisation of some of these competitions, including the contributions of cash expected from participating Communities to enable the provision of balls and presumably some sort of prizes for the winners.
