The National Basketball Arena, Tallagh will see another Coláiste/Gaelcholáiste
Choilm team in action again at the National Basketball School Cup finals
on January 31st.
Our u16 boys’ team won a very hard fought All-Ireland school semi-final
game in the Canon Hayes Centre, Tipperary Town on Wednesday, January 11th against
a highly fancied Patrician Academy, Newbridge. The team welcomed back Jamie Twohig
from injury and he made an immediate impact when he entered the game. Others
to impress were top scorers Emmet Ó Murchú and Ciarán Ó Suilleabháin
with Seán Goggin, Brian Hanley and Cian O Floinn making significant contributions
at crucial points in the game. The team now await their final opponents. Meanwhile
they will be busy preparing for their All-Ireland league opponents St. Brendans,
Killarney. The senior boy's team travel to Killarney on Tuesday to play their
All-Ireland qualifying game against tough opponents St. Brendans Killarney. |
First and second year girls and boys teams have been busy training. They
are eagerly awaiting their competitions which will begin soon.
Congratulations to Ciarán Ó Suilleabháin and Emmet Ó Murchú who
travelled to Lund, Sweden from January 1st to the 5th with the Irish u16 schoolboys
team.
School Principal, Mr. Kinsella, is to receive a prestigious award from Basketball
Ireland in recognition of his support and invaluable contribution to schools
basketball during the past fourteen years. The award will be presented at the
National Basketball Arena on January 29th. Congratulations Mr. Kinsella. |
