Readers will remember our feature on Joe Trent in the November issue following the team Great Britain Handball win in Kosovo.
Joe (# 38) has now moved from Denmark to Portugal to play for a senior team in Lamego and his younger brother Alex (# 36) is now playing in Denmark for a year himself after finishing his A-Levels at Corfe Hills School.

They were both selected for the recent U21 GB in Costa Rica and both were very excited to be representing their country.
Joe and Alex started playing at Lockyers Middle School before joining local Handball club Poole Phoenix, then into South West Regional Academies and the England youth teams.
Like all sports during the Pandemic the down-time from National and International competition was frustrating but they are now on an amazing run of success progressing further than any previous GB squad.
The competition in San Jose was a historic event for GB as it was the qualifying tournament for the Junior World Handball Championships.

They took on the host nation Costa Rica, Australia, Cuba and Guinea, if they win they will go on to face huge Handballing Nations such as France, Norway and Denmark
It’s a big task ahead but they are feeling confident and determined to give it their best shot.
