KIERAN Donaghy held his basketball camp during the week and there was another huge turnout.

The John Mitchels GAA Complex in Ballyseedy was buzzing with over 180 youngsters taking part and they received expert coaching from Kieran and his Warriors buddies, among others.

“I hold one camp a year but I might do another one next Easter, judging on the amount of calls I got around that time earlier this year,” said Kieran.

“This is the fifth year of it and it’s growing and growing. It’s about inspiring the next generation who will hopefully go on the play basketball in the years ahead. We’re trying to get a women’s basketball team going in the next few years so we’re trying to inspire the young girls,” he said.
