What a day in Mounthawk 💙
Our U15 Tournament delivered exactly what you want from a day basketball— a real sporting atmosphere, big energy on the floor, and games that were competitive from start to finish while staying respectful the whole way through. Hard defence, smart basketball, plenty of hustle… and not a hint of nonsense. Credit to every team for setting that tone.

Champions
Congratulations to Éanna, who came out on top today after a strong run through the knockouts and a composed performance when it mattered most.
A big shout-out as well to tournament runners-up UCC Demons, who brought real grit to the final and made sure nothing came easy — a proper, battling performance right to the last whistle.
And a special mention to Éanna #17, Sean B., who gave a masterclass in doing the basics brilliantly. Rebounding, put-backs, solid two-point finishing, and “hands straight up” defence — the kind of fundamentals that win games and delivers a tournament MVP winning performance.

A Word on Our Own U15 Boys
Massive credit to our Tralee Magic U15 boys who finished 3rd overall. They competed every time they stepped on the floor, stayed locked in, and represented the club properly — together, unselfish, and willing to do the hard work. Plenty to build on from a really positive day.

Huge appreciation as well to our volunteers, parents who stepped up table officials, and referees — you kept everything moving, kept it calm, and helped the whole day feel smooth and professional from tip-off to the last whistle.
