The Thomastown based Berkeley Boys Basketball CLUB are delighted to announce that following the huge success from last year’s Outdoor Basketball Exhibition Game, they are doing it again in Thomastown, Kilkenny on Saturday the 8th of July (kick off 6pm). Last year the crowds came in their droves (600-700) to witness this unique and exciting family event that showcased the skills of top Irish International, National League and Professional Basketball Players. Russ Ryan, organiser said that they are expecting a big crowd again this year where the event will kick off at 6pm with a Senior Ladies exhibition game followed by the men’s exhibition game and finishing up with a monster dunking competition.
Russ said that last year the exhibition game was like a dream come true for so many kids to see the players put on a show with plenty of slam dunks and slick moves, in what was a brilliant atmosphere. This year’s event will once again have a festival-like family event with DJ, spot prizes, food trucks and a monster dunking competition, where we will get to see some of Ireland’s best dunkers put on a show for all to enjoy.
This newly developed amenity located in the centre of the town was developed and funded under the Town & Village Renewal Scheme by Kilkenny County Council. The amenity has a large permanent amphitheater which creates the perfect environment for spectators of all ages to watch this exhibition game. Russ said ‘’the game will showcase some of Irelands top talents he also said keep an eye out for some legends of the game from years gone by who will also be in attendance.

They include, the Thomastown Creche and Montessori School, Panoptic IT Solutions, Walsh’s Centra & Texaco Garage, Kilkenny County Council, the Department of Rural & Community Development, Kilkenny County Council, the Thomastown Credit Union and Adele’s Eat Train and Live.
