Report

Dublin Celtic, who had been beaten finalists in 1959, won the All-Ireland Basketball Blitz for the first time in October 1960, when beating Army School of Music 15-10 in the Final. M. Morrison top-scored on 8 points for the Army School of Music, but it wasn’t enough as the combination of P. O’Hara (7 pts), N. Nugent (5) and D. Rochford (3) saw of the challenge of ASM to give the title to Celtic.
