BLACKWATER STEELERS GIRLS MAKE THE CUT
Two local girls Ellen Mulligan and Verity O Connor made it through the first cut to the U 15 Irish Basketball Squad which was made after their first international tour of duty in Scotland.
On the 27th of April last all 24 players left Belfast by boat to Cairnryan and then travelled up to The Peak in Stirling. The squad was spilt into 2 teams, Hoops and Shamrocks, with both teams playing 3 games over the weekend against both the Scotland U15 and U16 Girls teams. Both girls acquitted themselves brilliantly and were in the thick of the action throughout, Verity was also given the honour of captaining the Hoops in the first game. The results are below.
Saturday 27th April
Morning Games
Hoops beat Scotland U15s 70-27 and Shamrocks beat Scotland U16s 85-26
Evening Games
Shamrocks beat Scotland U15s 71-54 and Hoops beat Scotland U16s 56-39
Sunday 28th April
Shamrocks beat Scotland U16s 63-38 and Hoops beat Scotland U15s 55-37
Then came the anxious wait until the reduced squad was announced. The 24 girl squad was cut to 17 and both Ellen and Verity were delighted to be included and they will continue in the Cadette Program that are preparing for the European Championships in Croatia in 2014.
From all at the Blackwater Steelers “Well Done Girls” and “Good Luck for the future”
And we at emyvale.net wish them every success and congratulate them on getting this far.
