Match Updates, 13 October 2011

It was a mixed day of fortunes for our basketball teams plating against Mount Sackville.

The day began with a great win for our U16s, trained by Mr. Fennell,  who had a very convincing win of 21 to 16.  Carla Wickham had a great game and scored 12 points in the process.   Well done girls!

The U19s, trained by Lyndsey King, were most unfortunate to lose to a very late basket, 17 to 18.  The team played well throughout and deserved the victory.  Lauren Fitzpatrick had a very good game.  Better luck next time.

Another Memorable Day in

St. Mary's Secondary School, Baldoyle, February 2011

In one of the most thrilling days experienced in the sporting history of St Mary’s, both our Under 16 and Under 19 Basketball teams covered themselves in glory in the SSA Division One Finals in the National Basketball Arena, Tallaght.

The Under 16 team very nearly took home the trophy after a pulsating match that was even right until the very end of the game. They eventually losing out on the narrowest of score lines, 20 points to 18 to Skerries Community College.         .

It was a brilliant achievement considering that the team had the smallest panel of players in the whole competition. Officials and teachers from other schools commented on the fitness, skillfulness and professionalism of the girls involved - Leanne Bickerdike, Zoe Johnston, Shannon Lowndes, Nicole Moriarty, Michaela Moriarty, Emma Maguire, Andrea Walsh, Stacey Berry and Chloe Farren.

The Under 19 team won their final in some style, taking home the trophy after a 31 -25 victory against Presentation College, Terenure. It was a magnificent team performance in a league that is noted nationally for its high skill levels. To add to the team’s delight, Captain Laura Chambers also received the Most Valuable Player accolade at the medal ceremony. Along with Laura, the team was composed of Danielle Byrne, Shauna McCourt, Aisling Penrose, Ciara Richardson, Katie Brady, Hayley Carton, Stephanie Doolin, Shannon Berry, Paige Lenihan, Lauren Fitzpatrick and Robyn O’Sullivan. The girls had to dig deep to come from behind to defeat a very determined Presentation side.

Team coaches and officials, Debbie O’Connell, Mr. Burke and Mr. Fennell were delighted with the girls’ performance. They also remarked about how proud they were with the way in which the teams and supporters represented the school. Principal, Ms. Siobhan O’ Connell, congratulated both teams and their supporters on what was a terrific day out.

Altogether, A Great Day for St. Mary's Secondary School, Baldoyle.

Well done everyone.
