Tralee Imperials Under 20 team.
THE Tralee Imperials u18/u20 men have both reached the national cup quarter finals.
This is historic for the basketball club as it is only their 4th year in the competitions and the 1st year they have reached both quarter finals.
Both teams have been drawn against Neptune who are the power houses in the competition so they certainly have the work cut out for them.
The Under 18s faced KCYMS Killorglin (twice), Phoenix and Maree on the way to the quarters where they face defending All-Ireland champions Neptune BC on Friday, November 25, in Cork.

Tralee Imperials Under 18.
Not to be outdone by the U18 Men’s team, the Tralee Imperials U20 Men have also qualified for the last eight in the National Cup.
Local side, KCYMS, were the first obstacle that the Imperials side had to overcome then Phoenix BC of Belfast, so now it’s defending champions Neptune BC of Cork next week.
The club thanked sponsors Leahy Construction who sponsor the under 18 team and Kirbys Brogue Inn who sponsor the under 20 men, as without them the teams would not have been able to travel and prepare properly for this national competition.
