St. Patrick’s Secondary School students were celebrating further basketball success this week with the news that four of its second years:  Donal Geaney, Aaron Fleming, Padraig Fleming and Garry O’Sullivan have been selected on the South West U-15 inter regional team.

These are four very talented young men and have already celebrated top honours with the school in winning the first year All-Ireland ‘A’ Basketball title last year. The boys will be part of the U-15 South West regional team that will play in the All-Ireland tournament in NUIG, Galway on the weekend of October 16th to 18th.

This event is one of the highlights of the Post Primary Schools’ competition calendar and is used as a selection process for the Irish U-16 team that will compete in the European Championships in 2017.
“This is a wonderful opportunity for the boys and the staff and students wish them the very best of luck over the weekend and we have no doubt that they will represent the school with great commitment and pride,” said Principal Denis O’Donovan.
