Affiliated to the EHA, Ruislip Eagles West London Handball Club currently runs competitive men’s and women's handball teams in the Super 8 and Super 7 leagues respectively, as well as development teams in the regional divisions. ==Club history== Ruislip Eagles Handball Club was formed in 1970 when they were based in the old South Ruislip Leisure centre. The Club have previously been known as Graphite Eagles (when sponsored by Graphite Equipment Ltd) and Robert Jenkins (Graphite were acquired by Robert Jenkins Systems and the name changed as a result of this). The men’s and women’s teams were started and coached by Bill Holderness, a GB goalkeeper. The teams were largely made up of British players but gradually more and more overseas players joined the club and brought new skills and experience. The club enjoyed a successful spell through the 1980s playing in the national leagues,〔http://britishhandballmemories.blogspot.co.uk/2013/01/salford-ladies-v-ruislip-ladies-19.html〕 when many of their players were picked for the regional team 〔http://britishhandballmemories.blogspot.co.uk/2013/07/glse-selects-first-ever-game-in-1981.html〕 and the national team and the women won the national league and cup on several occasions alongside fierce rivals Wakefield.〔http://britishhandballmemories.blogspot.co.uk/2009/03/cupfinal-programme-1983-female.html〕 The men also were involved with great competition with Brentwood and Liverpool but it was the women’s team who enjoyed the greater success. In 1982 the women became the first British team to win a match in a European Cup, beating the Belgian champions over two legs. Both men’s and women’s teams have an international flavour with many nationalities playing in both teams. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ruislip Eagles West London Handball Club」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
