Second Year Basketball Team
All-Ireland Champions beat Colaiste Chriost Ri, Cork 25-20
On May 11th 2012 in University of Limerick, another first was achieved for St. Joseph’s when the Second Years Basketball team stormed home as All-Ireland Champions, beating Colaiste Chriost Ri , Cork in a final score of 25 –20, after beating Pres DLS Bagnelstown by 39 – 25 in the semi finals. It has truly been a great season for the team trained by Mr. McGroggin of Drogheda Bullets Fame and under the management of Ms. Conlon.
Both 1st and 2nd Year Basketball teams exceeded all expectation with their performances in the North East , and both teams performed excellently in the group stages of the league , qualifying for the quarter finals, in what was the beginning of the knock-out stages . Unfortunately, the 1st Year team was unlucky to be beaten by Boyne Community School in Trim in their quarter-final
