Report

Holy Faith Clontarf, coached by American Legend, Jerome Westbrooks, won their second U19 A Girls All-Ireland Cup Final in three years.

The display put on by the Dubliners was clinical and polished and put the result beyond doubt midway through the third quarter, with excellent performances from MVP Bronagh Power Cassidy (an Irish International), Maeve O’Seaghdha, Niamh Kenny and Elizabeth Black.

Holy Faith had an advatage in size and athleticism which saw them get the better of exchanges early on and they built up an early lead, ending the half 37-19 up.

Holy Faith continued to dominate and St. Vincent’s had a tough third quarter with the Holy Faith bench showing plenty of skill and talent. In the end, the Clontarf girls were deserved 73-40 winners.

Coach Westbrooks referred to the four star players of Bronagh, Niamh, Maeve and Elizabeth as the four horsemen, and their experience and talent was tough for all teams who faced them.

Holy Faith Clontarf (Dublin): Katie Doyle, Kim Clarke (1), Aine Walsh (4), Maria Long (2), Emma Crumlish (4), Maeve O’Seaghdha (22), Bronagh Power Cassidy (24), Niamh Hetherton (2), Elizabeth Black (6), Niamh Kenny (3), Faye Crumlish (3).

St. Vincent’s SS (Cork): Casey Cullinane, Eve Hannigan (1), Laura Morrissey, Orla Murphy (15), Lauryn Homan (20), Aimee Cronin, Emily Peyton, Leah O Mahony, Mollie Blount (2), Zoe Mulcahy, Chloe Morey (2), Alexandra Bozhesko.

MVP: Bronagh Power Cassidy (Holy Faith Clontarf).

FINAL: Mercy Mounthawk (Kerry) 68 Gael Cholaiste Mhuire AG (Cork) 79

Brothers James & Scott Hannigan led Gael Cholaiste Mhuire to the U19 A Boys All-Ireland Schools Basketball title. David Lehane also put in a great display for the Cork side, but it was the Hannigan Brothers who did most of the damege, netting 53 points between them.

The Cork & Kerry rivals were neck-and-neck for the first five minutes of the game, but at the end of the First Quarter Gael Cholaiste Mhuire had gone ahead 22-14 thanks in large part to the Hannigan Brothers.

Kevin Moynihan added scores as well as the Hannigans for the Cork side in a big second quarter for the Rebel County side, as Mercy Mounthawk chipped away at a 10-point lead to bring the game back close at the half – 42-35 to Gael Cholaiste Mhuire AG. James Fernane and Daire Kennelly were causing a lot of trouble for the Cork sides’ defense.

Leeroy Odiahi played a pivotal role in the Kerry school getting right back into the match with a huge opening to the third quarter, as Mercy Mounthawk got back to within 4 points. David Lehane, however, scored a crucial 3-pointer at the other end, and went to the line for a four-point bonus play. Gael Cholaiste Mhuire went in at the the end of the third quarter with a comfortable 63-51 lead, though the match was far from over, with Steven Bowler and Philip Corkery netting for Mercy Mounthawk.

Mounthawk continued battling away and reduced the Gael Cholaiste Mhuire lead by three in the final quarter, but it was not enough, as the Hannigans, Moynihan and Lehane continued forcing turnovers and netting big scores, and the Cork side won 79-68 in the end.

Mercy Mounthawk (Kerry): Raul Venczel (1), Daniel Fokseang, David Burke (3), Philip Corkery (6), Aidan Mangan, Cian Devine, Oliver Hart, Tristan Raymond, Steven Bowler (13), James Fernane (11), Daire Kennelly (19), Zygi Kaletka, Leeroy Odiahi (15), David Goreanskii.

Gael Cholaiste Mhuire AG (Cork): Luke Ahern, Scott Hannigan (22), Mark Watkins, Colin Hannigan, James Hannigan (31), David Lehane (10), James Collins (4), Jack McGrath (6), Michael Tobin, Cian Looney (1), Kevin Moynihan (5).

MVP: James Hannigan (Gael Cholaiste Mhuire AG)

It has also been won twice since then by  Christ the King (Cork), Mercy Waterford, Presentation Thurles (Tipperary) and Colaiste Iosagain Stillorgan (Dublin).

About

The Basketball Ireland Post-Primary Schools Cup is run on an All-Ireland knockout basis for schools from the beginning of the competition, as opposed to the League which is run on a regional basis with an All-Ireland phase at the end. In the 1990s it was the Schools Basketball Association of Ireland which ran it, and it is now under the direct stewardship of Basketball Ireland.

The All-Ireland Cup is the highlight of the Schools Basketball Calendar, and is run at Under-19 and Under-16 Grades, with an A, B & C Competition inn both boys and girls for schools of different sizes.
