Loreto`s senior team played it`s last match of the season against Presentation Kilkenny on the 10th of November. The team consisted of Edwina Maher, Orla Hanrick, Mary Pat O`Sullivan, Mary Bergin, Marita Lanigan, Roisin Downey, Niamh Leahy, Fiona Whitely, Mairead Whitely & Aideen Kenny.
Sadly this was not only the last game of the season but for our 3 6th years Marita, Roisin & Aideen it was their last ever match in the school. These girls have been wonderful players through the years and though the basketball team is sad to see them leave we wish them all the best in the future.Good luck girls!
This game was certainly one filled with intensity, the first half so shots from Orla and Roisin and another by Orla literally within the last second!At halftime the score was left at Loreto 10-5 Presentation. The last quarter was a tight one which due to an even score led into extra time of 3 minutes. On this rare occasion the extra time also ended on an even score leading to yet another extra time, there would have been another if Pres hadn`t got the last shot, leaving the game at Loreto19-22 Pres. Though it wasn`t a win for the Loreto girls , it was definitely a well played match and a wonderful season.
