The 1st year girls basketball team had two games this week against Le Cheile S.S. and New Cross College.
The game against Le Cheile was the first ever game for the girls and they made an excellent start and were in the lead after the 1st quarter. It was a very close contest throughout and the team did themselves proud. The girls only lost out by four points, as the game went down to the wire. The final score was 20-16. Star player Ciara O' Brien scoring 4 points.
In the 2nd game two days later the girls put in a dominant performance. Their zone defence was impossible to break down and managed to keep New Cross scoreless for the entire game. The team dominated throughout a very physical game. The girls really stepped up to the physical demands of the game and ran out winners on a scoreline of 21-0. Top scorers were Victoria Gilton and Hannah Keenan. A fantastic result. The team is improving every game. Cheers of Olé could be heard on the bus trip back to Mill Road.
Their next game will be against Ballinteer CS next Friday the 8th at 10am.
