Olympic Games Basketball Tournament Group Results 1948 [Ref: 1]

Report

Ireland finished in 23rd and last place in the 1948 Olympic Games Basketball Tournament, losing all six games, although they were drawn in a tough group that included eventual Semi-Finalists France and Mexico (France went on to meet the mighty United States of America in the Final).

It was the only time an Ireland team represented the country at the Olympic Games in a team sport until the 21st Century when the Hockey team did so. Although the Amateir Basketball Association had only just been founded in 1945, the authorities decided to take advantage of the Olympic Games being held in London.

Most of the players came from the Army, who were most prominent in Irish Basketball at the time, having played the sport since the 1920s (the army was the only place that had gyms at the time). While the resulting report given to the Army authorities said it was a valuable learning experience and Ireland could do quite well at the next Olympics, it was not until a couple of decades later that Ireland entered the International arena again.

The Irish team had been using a ball that was more like a cross between a medicine ball and a Gaelic football than a basketball, and were using an outdated version of the rules, having self-isolated during the 1930s and 1940s due to World War II. Although outclassed by superior opponents in Mexico and France, Irish players were picking up moves they learnt during the tournament and executing them well during play towards the end.

Ireland Team: 3. Donald O’Donovan 4. Frank O’Connor 5. Tommy Mallon 6. Patrick Crehan 7. Jimmy McGee 8. Bill Jackson 9. Harry Boland 10. Tommy Keenan 12. Donald Sheriff 13. Daniel Reddin 14. Paddy Sheriff 15. Jim Flynn 16. Christy Walsh

Report

In a three-way race for the Women’s Irish Basketball Association National League Division 2 title, Drimnagh Dynamos, from Dublin, finished on a 10-4 record, a game ahead of Snowcream Wexford and Brunell. In the playoff for second place, Wexford prevailed, before taking the Final 62-44 against Drimnagh, with former county footballer, Eddie McMahon putting them in the history books as only the third team to ever to win the title in their debut year at the National League level, after Wildcats (Waterford) and Tralee. Trish Nolan (18 Pts) and Ann Forrestal O’Gorman (17 Pts) top scored for the women from the southeast, as they had a brilliant third quarter to pull away from the Dubliners, and win the Final, and promotion to Division 1.

Irish Basketball Association National League Women’s Citrus Spring League Division 1 Results 1991-92 [Ref: 2-30]

Report

The Irish Basketball Association National League Women’s Division 1 (the top Division in Ireland) was sponsored by Citrus Spring for 1991-92. The League turned into an exciting four-team battle as West Coast Coolers Meteors (from Stillorgan in South Dublin), Naomh Mhuire (St. Mary’s, Inchicore, Dublin), Lee Strand Tralee (Co. Kerry) and Snowcream Wildcats (Waterford) only separated by one game at the end of the season.

Meteors won the title ahead of Naomh Mhuire, after both finished on 11-3 records, with Tralee and the Wildcats one game back on 10-4. Meteors weren’t to get the double, however, as Naomh Mhuire defeated them 59-48 in the Top 4 Final in Neptune Stadium, Cork. The team from Inchicore sprinted into an 11-point lead after 6 minutes, with Coolers switched to a man-to-man defense to claw back into the game, trailing 27-26 at the half. A low-scoring third quarter followed, with both sides level at the end 37-37, before good free-throwing in the last quarter from Naomh Mhuire and a three-point spree from Junior International June Blount secured the title for Naomh Mhuire.
