St. Colman’s Basket Ball:
It was a very successful weekend for our basket ballers with our Under 14 boys beating TK Vixens, Athea in the Division 3 Plate Final. The final score was 39/24.
These young boys, coached by Derry O’ Sullivan and Eamonn Prendiville have only been playing two years and have been making remarkable improvement on each outing.
The Girls U14 team from St. Colman’s also won their Division 3 Plate final on Saturday last after beating St. Mary’s in the final which was played in the Moyderwell School, Tralee. They won their previous rounds against St Paul’s, Ballunion Wildcats and Caherciveen. Once again this is great achievement for the St. Coleman’s club who are only in their second year in the League.
Team was Kitty O’ Dowd, Alice Casey, Sarah Keane, Aine Scott, Emma Casey, Niamh Dinham, Cianna Foley, Sophie O’ Shea, Jemma Walsh, Amy Evans and Katie Howe.
