History
The club began life in 1968 as St. Andrew's U14s boys school team. This team was the most successful 15/16-year-old boys handball team of the late 1960s and early 1970s, winning the North West of England title on no fewer than four occasions and being runners-up in the National Championship (Men) twice.[2] Before becoming Liverpool, for much of the 1970s the club played under the name Halewood Forum.[2]
The first major honour for the senior side was in 1983 when it defeated Brentwood '72 Handball Club, 14-13, to win the British Handball Association's British Cup.[3]
Liverpool Handball Club played in the Super 8 League but we're relegated in 2013. They then played in the second tier of national competition. From here, the club dropped down to the third tier of English Handball.[4] They now reside in the Northern Championship.[5]
