Bower v Loreto, Mullingar
The first year basketball team had a great victory in Mullingar on Wednesday, 26 November finishing with a score of 40-17 in favour of the Athlone girls. It was a real team effort from start to finish.
In the first quarter, the two teams were tied at 8-8 and during the second period of play the Bower slipped behind 8-14. It was just the shock they needed to kickstart their competitive instinct and they notched up the points to run out easy winners.
Well done to all involved, including coach Des O’Reilly as this was payback for all the hard work and effort.
Squad: N. McGann, B. Flynn, V. Gorovenco, K. Colgan, M. Rubio, K. Quinn, A. Keyes, M. Heneghan, L. Liaukeviciute, D. Oshilaja, M. Lobato.
