Cadette School Basketball

IMG_1088

The Cadette girls team (U16) travelled to Mohill on 13th January to compete in their Division Finals competition.
In the first match of the day we played Drumshanbo VS and had a comfortable win. This qualified us for a final later in the day against Carrigallen VS who beat Mercy Roscommon in their Semi final.
Later in the afternoon after the girls had supervised the ‘table’ for two Senior games we took on Carrigallen in the final. A very tight first two quarters saw both sides tit for tat until the last couple of minutes of the second quarter when Ballinamore pulled ahead by two baskets. Our final possession of the first half Ciara McGoldrick took the ball down the court with 4 seconds remaining on the clock. With only a second left and having just passed the halfway line Ciara decided to have a shot and to the delight of everyone watching she scored a three pointer! An amazing shot that also put us 7 points up going into the half time break.
In the third and fourth quarters Ballinamore continued to pull away from Carrigallen with the final score ending up at 36 to 14.
Congrats to the girls who all played fantastic in what was a great team effort with all the girls getting great experience on the day.
Thanks to Blazers Basketball club for training and coaching the team and wishing them luck in their upcoming club games.
