Congratulations to the First and Second Year basketball teams who have both qualified for the semi finals of the South Dublin Basketball League. Both teams will play St. Andrews in the semi final next Wednesday 22nd of March. The first years have already been in a semi final this year losing narrowly to Adamstown in the East Region plate semi final. The second year team were knocked out at the quarter final stage by a strong St. Declans team. The team put in a good performance but just lost out in the last few minutes of the game. Both teams are looking forward to the upcoming semi final and hoping to bring home some silverware to the school!

Marian's Senior Gaelic team claimed a memorable one point victory in a tense Dublin Championship final yesterday, prevailing on a score line of 1-7 to 0-9 over Templeogue College. During the first half Templeogue dominated possession but an organised and disciplined defensive effort by Marian forced their opponents to shoot a number of wides. At the other end of the field points from Paul Fox (2), Daniel Bailey, Darragh Murphy and an excellent 45 from Brandon Kinsella meant Marian College led by 0-5 to 0-3 at the break. The second half played out in a similar fashion with courageous defending added to by efficient forward play leaving Marian in a winning position coming into the final 10 minutes. Dean Fitzpatrick scored a wonderful goal followed by a point before captain Brandon Kinsella kicked another majestic point to get Marian over the line. The team now prepare for a Leinster final which will be played next week. Details of this game to follow.

It was a big week for the 2nd year basketball team as they had two wins this week. They beat St. Andrews away on Wednesday by a double figure margin in what was a tougher game than the scoreline suggested. Then on Friday the team put in their best performance of the season so far to beat the previously undefeated Colaiste Eoin team in a very close game that produced a 40-37 win for Marian. It was a huge win for the team that puts them in a great position to qualify from their group for the quarter-finals.
