Matthews of Cork. We built up a good lead and this game went our way, except for the unfortunate loss of Charlie Clifford in this game due to a rolled ankle. We knew that we were going to miss Charlie\u2019s tough defensiveness going forward in the tournament.<br \/>However, we went on to win all four of our pool games, beating, Fr. Matthews, Baltinglass Bulldogs, St. Brendan\u2019s and Templeogue.<br \/>This put us into the semi-final against St. Mary\u2019s from Castleisland. This was a close and tough contest but our boys came away with a win and a coveted place in the final.<br \/>Meanwhile our local rivals, Limerick Celtics had also reached the final having won three of their pool games and beating UCD Marian in their semi final.<br \/>We had a right battle with Celtics in the final with the lead changing over and back several times. We were up by 4 points with 3 minutes to go, but then it was like someone stuck a pin in us and we lost energy, losing the game 48-42.<br \/>Head Coach, Trevor Moore was so proud of the boys. \u201cThey played fantastic basketball all day and are a credit to our club\u201d.<br \/>What a super achievement and what a positive sign for Limerick basketball to see two Limerick teams reach the final of a tournament with the top teams in the country. The future is looking very bright.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-f7a3985 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"f7a3985\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-b236b3f\" data-id=\"b236b3f\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f1a99cf elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"f1a99cf\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our U14 team travelled to Cork this Saturday to compete in an open tournament organised by the Cork Area Board.
