Eagles and Murphys:

Both our 1st year team ‘Eagles’ and our 2nd year team ‘Murphy’ were victorious on Monday, the 6th of February.

Impressive displays from Emma Shelly and Eimear Boland gave the team confidence and belief. Our top scorers were Emma Shelly and Katie Mc Cormack. The girls worked hard both offensively and defensively and won on a score line of 18-10.

The 1st years had what can only be described as a battle. Each basket proving vital. The ‘Eagles’ were level with 10 seconds to go in the last quarter and an impressive basket by Ava Heffernan won the game in a dramatic fashion. Brilliant performances by Ava Heffernan, Isabelle Hayden and Niamh Hayes led the girls to victory on a score line of 22-20.
