After a 2 year breather Newry Basketball Club Senior Men made a return to the competitive game with a new look squad.

Newry faced their first test in the Belfast Summer Tournament with veteran players Paul Crawley and Nigel Murphy, returning from 2 years playing in Strabane, as well as a good mix of up and coming youth players including Alun Gorman.

Newry's Senior Men's team are hoping to gather together a squad to compete in a tournament to be held in Queens on 1st and 2nd of May.

The returning Newry side hope to use both returning experienced players such as Paul Crawley, Nigel Murphy and Colly Mc Evoy and mix this with young talent from the U19 team such as Captain Nial Byrne, Ali Gorman and David Ruddy to see if this once competitive Newry team can shake off the two year break and represent their club and city once again.

The success of this venture back into Senior Ball is an attempt to boost the clubs hopeful return to the NI league in 2010/11.

Goodluck boys.

Well done to both our team captains U19 Nial Byrne and U14 Aaron Miller on their second consecutive selection as All Stars for 2010.
