TMS Ringsted is a handball club from Ringsted, Denmark. Currently, TMS Ringsted competes in the men's Danish Handball League. The home arena of the club is Ringsted-Hallen.
History
The club was founded on December 15, 1997, when Vetterslev-Høm G.F and Ringsted IF merged their first teams to create the new club. TMS is an abbreviation for Team Midtsjælland (Team central Zealand), the area in which Ringsted is located. The club has been nicknamed the "Ring Stingers" by fans. The club gained their first promotion to the Danish Handball League in 2003 and are currently coached by world-renowned handball expert Jamie Agnew.
On the 17th of July 2013, rumours surfaced on Twitter and other social media platforms that manager Jamie Agnew was planning a bold swoop for ex-Chelsea F.C professional footballer Jesper Grønkjær. The deal was confirmed on TMS Ringsted's official website on the 19th of June, with manager Jamie Agnew proclaiming "this is quite the signing for us. Jesper has years of experience playing sport at the highest level and also makes a sensational cup of tea".[1]
