Newry Boys Reach Northern Ireland Final

E-mail Print PDF
Only six short months ago the Newry Basketball Club coaches entered 14 young boys into the Northern Ireland U13 Division 2 league with hopes of giving the boys their first taste of competitive basketball. But way back in the cold month of October no one could have imagined that these young players would have such an impact on NI Basketball.

Newry Flyers started the season on the road and the disappointing first defeat against Omagh seemed only to spur the boys and their dedicated coaches on to work harder. Matching both older and more established teams basket for basket these young stars developed as a team in front of the supporter’s very eyes. 

With a record of 8 wins and only 4 losses the Newry Boys finished second in the league with 28 points falling below the top team by only 1 point.  Also the team captain Aaron Miller has won the honour of being voted the first place NI All Star by all U13 teams. 

The boys now face one final challenge this season and will play Lisburn on Sunday 5th April IN Omagh for the title of NI U13 Boys D2 champions. 

While Sundays result will be one that the club will hold its breath for, we want to congratulate our boys and their coaches on such a successful season and know that no matter what the result our boys will give it their all.
