National Cup Team

Lets get out in force to support our Under 18 Boys in their bid to be National Champions, Saturday, 28th January, at 2pm, in the Basketball Arena.

This is going to be a great battle as they take on the mighty Maree from Galway and the lads will need all of our support to get behind them in their bid to retain the title of National Champions for 2012

Christmas Camp "hard work but enjoyable"

OUR Christmas Camp was a tremendous success.. We would like to thank Sasa Punosevac for running such a successful camp and we are indeed grateful to Sasa for all the time and effort he put into each session.

Inter-Club Senior Christmas Blitz

MANY turned out for the Christmas Blitz which was held on the 27th December and provided a great days entertainment with the "Donkeys" overcoming the "Detroit Pistons" in the final. After the Blitz everyone met in the Terenure Inn to discuss the day’s basketball and the number of "Technical Fouls" committed by some players or should I say "player". It was a great full day’s enjoyment with the "discussions" continuing til the early hours and many thanks to John Walsh for organising everything.
