Berkeley Wolves Under 15 Boys Basketball Team Wins the South East Top 4 Finals
The Berkeley Wolves Under 15 Boys Basketball team won the South East top 4 play offs over the weekend. The Berkeley Boys played againts the Wexford Basketball Club in the semi final and as predicted this game was a nail biter with the game neck and neck from start to finish. The Wolves played tough defence containing Wexfords star Spanish player Guillermo Pardaljaraw and winning the game by 3 points in the end (40-43). In the final the Wolves faced up against the very tall Kildare Larrie Birds team who beat the Carlow team in the other Semin Final. This was also a very tight game for the first 3 quarters before the Berkeley lads pulled away to secure victory in the final quarter. Coach Russ Ryan said that we really enjoyed the season in what was a very competeitive league, we are thrilled to have had the opportunity to get into our first top four play offs and play two really strong teams, any of the teams who qualified for the finals in this division could easily have walked away with the final win, but we are delighted that we pulled through in the end. The Kilkenny Stars did a great job in hosting the event in Kilkenny City where teams from all over the South East competed in the different age groups. Special thanks to all of the parents who supported the team, Grennan Collge in Thomastown, KRSP who has helped in the development of our small club and to our sponsors Walsh’s Centra in Thomastown.
