Basketball has a long-standing tradition in Scoil Mhuire Trim. It is inclusive so that any students who want to take part are welcome to come and practice and try out for the school team. It is played during lunch time and there is also after school practice once a week for those that can make it. 3rd-6th yrs have their league campaign from October to December. During this time, they play schools in their own pool in the North East region. If they progress they also play against other schools in the North East Region in the quarter finals and then further if they win.
Once again, the basketball season of 2023-24 was a very successful one for all basketball teams. The U19 team had a good year and progressed to the Quarter Finals. The U16 team also progressed out of their group.
Our 1st and 2nd year teams had a very successful season. 1st years topped their group and narrowly lost out in the semifinals, but they put in a great few months of training. 2nd years won the North East Regional Final and progressed to the play offs which they also won. They got to the All Ireland semi finals, which was a fantastic achievement. Unfortunately, they lost out narrowly to a strong St Marys Macroon Cork side. All teams will now progress to the “B” leagues in 2024 which will be a tougher challenge but with continued training, we expect another good season ahead.
We look forward to you joining our teams!
