The Scoil Chormaic girls basketball team travelled to Tralee on Wednesday 23rd October to take part in the Munster Basketball Blitz. A Junior Tean (U-16) and a Novice team participated. For some of these students, it was their first time taking part in this blitz.
The Novice team played four matches ans showed great skill. The Junior team played three matches and reached the final against Tralee. It was a thrilling game and very close. Tralee emerged the winners. The girls will now qualify for the All-Ireland Blitz in Dublin next March. A fantastic day was had by all.
