1st Year basketball vs CCM 3/2/26

On Tuesday the 3rd of February, our First Year girls faced off against Coláiste Chill Mhantáin in our home court. The team has been training every Tuesday, the first time playing basketball for some. The girls fought hard throughout the match, but unfortunately CCM came out on top.

The first quarter kicked off with Hannah Allman scoring the first basket of the match, and a 3 pointer at that. What a way to start the game! Chloe Fleming scored another two baskets that quarter, leaving the teams tied at 7-7 after the first quarter. 

Emma McDermott was on fire in the second quarter, scoring three baskets! With a strong defensive line the girls held up strong against a tough opposition. In the third and fourth quarter the girls continued to fight, but it wasn’t their day.

A massive well done to the girls on their perseverance and the great skill they showed! A big thank you to coaches Ms. Matthews and Rachel. Well done to CCM and thank you for coming to play us.
