Senior Ladies Team “TEAM GARVEYS” were at home on Saturday against NUIG Galway. This was always going to be a challenge as NUIG have some very experienced players. The ladies played their hearts out but lost on a scoreline of 56 – 36.

Our under 20 Boys ( Sponsored by Kirbys Brogue Inn ) played their National Cup game vs St. Vincents Dublin. This game was a thriller and had the audience on their feet. Halftime score was 33 St. Vincents – 24 for our boys.

They were still down 9 at the end of the 3rd Quarter. In the last quarter, with the crowd cheering them on, they were within a basket of equalising with seconds on the clock, but it wasn’t to be. Final score: 67 – 63.

Our Club Shop is now open and purchases can be made at the Academy every Saturday between 10 and 12. Get your Christmas orders in now.

Finally the Club would like to sympathize with Michael Quirke and his family on the death of his father Michael Quirke Sr. late of Lohercannon, Tralee.
