The Berkeley Wolves Under 15 Basketball Team has clinched a spot in the top four of the very competitive South East Under 15 Basketball League. Having finished up 3rd overall in the league and a recent win over the Waterford Vikings, the Berkeley Wolves have been preparing for their first appearance in the top four playoffs.
The team’s next challenge will be against the formidable Wexford Basketball Club in the semi-final of the top four. Scheduled for Sunday the 21st at 12pm in O’Loughlin Gaels in Kilkenny City. With just one point between the teams in their last encounter with Wexford winning the game in the last 5 seconds of the game, this match promises to be an exciting showdown between two of the league’s top contenders,.
Coach Russ Ryan said, “We are very much looking forward to our first top-four appearance, the lads have shown great improvement in only their second year competing in this league. The competition in the under-15 league has been very competitive, with very little between the top five teams in the league. The final of the top four will also take place on Sunday the 21st at 3.45pm in St Kieran’s College in Kilkenny City, with Carlow taking on Larrie Birds in the other Semi-Final.
Walsh’s Centra in Thomastown, has once again stepped up to sponsor the team’s new gear. The Berkeley Boys express their heartfelt appreciation for the ongoing support from Walsh’s Centra.
