The CBS Ennistymon U-19 Basketball team were crowned Regional Champions on Wednesday November 29th with a comprehensive  28-43 victory over Galway Community College in the Maree Community Centre Galway.

 

The team overcame the opposition with an outstanding team performance, under the leadership on court of captain Cailum Burke under the guidance of coaches Mr Stephen Leigh and Ms Margaret Molloy.

As well as an outstanding team performance there were many brilliant individual performances.  Liam Crosgrave and James Leigh had excellent offensive games, scoring17 and 15 points, including 2 & 1 three pointers respectively. Shane Vauaghan and Breandán Monaghan were brilliant in defence, showing dogged determination capturing many rebounds, turning defence into offence.  Cailum Burke had a true captain’s performance popping up all over the court, intercepting the ball numerous times over the course of the match, and creating scores by off-loading the ball to this team mates. He also made his mark on the score sheet with 6 points including a netting three pointer. The depth in the squad was demonstrated with the arrival on court of Cillian Devitt, Théo Gosseau and Cian Fahy who had formidable defensive games.  Over all it was exceptional squad performance both on and off the court and was the icing on the cake for Alan Rynne’s Birthday celebrations!
