The Loreto Secondary School, Clonmel U-16 basketball team reached the South East Regional Final this season and lost a close final to St. Bridget’s Secondary School, Callan.
The team then went on to play in the All-Ireland Grade B play-offs, held in Midleton, when they faced three tough matches against opposition from Cork, Kerry and Dublin.
The team from Tralee won the event and progressed to the All-Ireland quarter-finals.
The Loreto girls played very well all day and had some really close games, losing one game by just one basket.
It is a great achievement to get to the play-off stages as the standard is so high, with most teams having a strong club influence.
