This Sunday matters — not just for this group, but for the club. Our U20 women are defending National Cup champions, and they’re back in semi-final territory with the chance to write another important chapter for Tralee Magic 💙
These girls carry that title with quiet confidence. It’s built on work done week after week, standards set in training, and a group that understands exactly what it means to pull on a Magic jersey — for themselves, and for everyone coming up behind them.
The head-to-head numbers give a really clear picture of where this game could be decided:
• Scoring: Magic 83.5 ppg | Templeogue 62 ppg
Magic have been able to put sustained pressure on teams, scoring in waves and punishing any lapse in concentration.

Templeogue’s numbers point to a disciplined defensive setup, meaning patience, shot selection and decision-making will be key for Magic.

• From deep: Magic 6.5 threes per game | Templeogue 3
Magic’s ability to stretch the floor could be a major factor, forcing defensive adjustments and opening up driving lanes.

• Inside the arc: Magic 25.5 | Templeogue 25
Almost identical production inside highlights how evenly matched the teams are in the paint — effort on rebounds and second chances could swing momentum.

In a tight cup semi-final, trips to the line may carry extra weight. Composure in those moments could matter late.

Different strengths. Different styles. Same prize on the line.
This is cup basketball — momentum swings fast, composure matters, and support can be the difference. These players have already shown they can handle the moment. Now they need the club behind them as they push to defend what they earned last season.
If you’ve ever worn Magic colours, coached a team, set up a hall, driven a car-pool, or cheered from the sidelines — this is your cue.
Let’s pack Parochial Hall and get behind our girls 💙
