Well done to the U19 girls basketball team who travelled to Castlerea on Tuesday 9th of January to compete in the Regional quarter finals. The girls started very well taking the lead within the first few minutes and managing to hold onto the lead into the second half. Colaiste Muire started to get a little tired which led to Elphin getting on top. With Colaiste Muire down by four points and two minutes remaining on the clock it was a nail biting finish. Colaiste Muire fought hard and managed to level the game in the last few seconds to take the game to extra time. The U19 girls dug deep and came out on top with a 6 point win in the end to see them through to the Regional semi-final verus Grange in the coming weeks. Well done to all the girls for such an excellent team effort and best of luck in the next round. A special mention to the U16 girls who also came away with a win on the day. Well done to all involved!
