Success at Basketball Qualifiers.

Our 2nd year basketball team had an early start this morning. They left West Cork at 6am and headed to O'Loughlin Gaels GAA complex in Kilkenny City for their All Ireland Qualifier. A round robin competition awaited with four teams competing for just one spot in an All Ireland semi final. 

Our first game was against Hazelwood from Limerick. Our girls were well in control but in the last few minutes the Limerick team rallied. Ultimately Sacred Heart kept their nerve and hung on for a two point win. A close affair but perhaps lessons learned from the heart ache last year. 

Wins in our second and third games turned out to be a little more comfortable. Beating Mount Anvil from Dublin and Our Lady of Lourdes New Ross to progress from the competition. 

All roads now lead to Dublin on 30th April for the All Ireland Semi's and Final in the National Basketball Arena, Tallaght.  Many thanks to Mr Hanley and Mr Browne.
