Dunamase College has made history this week, with three teams reaching the finals of the Midlands Basketball Schools League. The U16 girls, the U16 boys and the U19 boys teams are all playing in regional finals, in the National Basketball Arena in Tallaght, next Monday 5th December. The teams, along with their coaches, will be supported on the day by their fellow students and teachers from the school. It is a momentous occasion for a school in its infancy to be represented so prominantly at provincial championships.
The teams are very grateful for the support they have received both within and outside of the school community. James Graham, of Graham Developments, very kindly allows the school to train on the old convent school courts. They are just a few minutes walk from the school and Dunamase College is grateful for the use of the courts while they await their new school building.
Fingleton White, a local engineering company, have generously agreed to sponsor a new set of basketball jerseys for the school. Dunamase College appreciates the support immensely.
It is all of these components, along with dedicated students and staff, that bring our teams together and help foster great effort and determination. At Dunamase College, we support and encourage the ventures and achievements of students that occur outside the classroom. We know the students will do their best in the final, right to the very end. The very best of luck Dunamase College.
