“Das Horn von Triebsch” – Trophy

Posted by

On Sunday, the 16th June started the official inaugural “The Horn von Triebsch” competition between the Vikings Handball Club and the Fruit Flies Handball Club.



The Trophy was donated by the Ireland family and established to celebrate the friendly rivalry between the Vikings and Fruit Flies.
The trophy is named after Daniel Triebsch for his contribution in developing players on both teams over the last 8 years, especially given that all four Ireland siblings and the Irland clan mother (Sue) played for the Vikings.



Earlier in 2019, Luke Ireland and Jack Gallagher, two Vikings cornerstones in recent years decided to not just talking about growing Handball and actually doing it by founding a new Wellington-based club called Fruitflies Handball Club. As part of this new club, the Fruitflies team convinced some new players as well as some semi-retired players to join forces and to go on a new exciting journey together.

While the Vikings are sad to let Luke, Jack and the others go, as a club we are all about growing Handball and developing players, and the Fruitflies project is an instrumental step forward.

Good Luck Fruitflies Handball Club.

Game Postponed 

The game between the Vikings Danes and the Northern Aguilas this Sunday has been postponed to the 26th of August.

The Wellington Handball League has granted a request by the Northern Aguilas, given that 5 of their players are in the NZ Beach National Team, that is currently on their way to Russia for the upcoming Beach Handball World Championships.
Good Luck for the NZ Beach Boys!!!

The men game between the Vikings Norse and the Spartanz is happening as scheduled, as well as the women game Vikings vs Spartanz.

Amelie and Siri are going home

We also are sad to announce that two of our women players, Amelie and Siri,  had to say goodbye. Both players joined the Vikings women team in July 2017 and since then shown great commitment and skills,  while adding immensely to the success of the Vikings women team and the Vikings team culture overall.
We wish both players all the best back in their home countries and they both will be missed!! 
Good Luck and safe travels – Amelie and Siri.
