U13 GIRLS

The u-13 girls squad have become the Clubs first team to capture league honours when they won the Galway league U13 cup in thrilling fashion over Maree from south Galway .. These two sides having met twice previously in the league and with honours even going in to the final were easily the two outstanding teams in their league. The closeness of the two previous meetings would ensure a very keenly fought contest and this proved to be the case with our girls emerging victorious by 3pts. The team was captained by Sharon Roche and great credit is due to all the squad and their coaches Sean Devitt and Mary Gleeson. U13 Gallery 2009.....

Kilkenny Cup

The annual Kilkenny Cup memorial
tournament was played on
Easter Monday at the
Community Centre. The tournament comprised
of four u16 girls teams
this year and was very
competitive throughout the
round -robin series of games.
A fine performance by
the Cooraclare girls saw
them emerge victorious over
the local Clare Cascaders side
in the final.

It is hoped that this
tournament will grow in future
years as other towns in Clare
see the emergence and
growth of juvenile girls
basketball throughout the county.
