BASKETBALL IRELAND

2nd YEAR EAST-LEINSTER LEAGUE

BLACKROCK COLLEGE 25 ST.CONLETH’S 16

Congratulations to Michael Ryan and his Squad on their qualification for the East-Leinster Quarter-Finals.

After a slow start we were 6-2 down at the end of the 1st Quarter. The recovery began thereafter and at half-time a lead of 3 points had been established which was maintained to the end of the third Quarter.

The real plus is that the team showed great heart and desire to ground out a result. The ability to win when playing below your best is a good characteristic.

Lucas Thoms had an excellent game, scoring three points at a crucial stage of the match.

I thank our Coaches Mr O’Neill and Shane Kelly (Class of 2013) for their work with the Squad.
