Minor Girls’ Basketball at All Ireland Play Offs

On April 17th, the Minor Girls Basketball team, along with Coach David Doran, participated in the first round of the AIl-Ireland play-offs. The event saw 18 schools from around the country competing for quarterfinal spots. The opponents on the day were the North East league winners  Colaiste Na Hinse, Meath, and Midlands Runners-up St.Pauls, Monestervein. It was very unfortunate that the competition took place during our Easter break and a number of girls were unable to participate due to family commitments. Despite this, we still had a strong team and the girls performed admirably and were highly competitive in both games. Overall an excellent experience and a fantastic achievement to get to this level in the competition. A huge thank you to all the parents who helped with transport and were there to support us on the day.
