Next up were another Belgium team called Rapid Langemark. This side proved no match at all for the KUBS boys and the final score-line showed it with a very large spread of 72- 22 for our lads. From this win the boys moved up to play the London Ladies. There wasn’t such a gap between the teams in this game but the KUBS boys managed yet again to raise their game to come out of this with a 65 – 55 win. All this hard work left them in a semi-final position for Sunday and the opponents this time would be a strong Belgian side. The game was a tough one and the number of team fouls made it clear. But for the KUBS boys it was the free throws that lost it for them. They just couldn’t place that ball in the net from the free-throw line. Shot after shot that went astray cost them dearly. Although David Green played the full bench the Bavi Vilvoorde team took it in the end with a 14 point win.
All that was left now was to fight for a third place position in a play off with BBC Racing Brugge. What an exciting game this turned out to be with the two teams in a neck and neck struggle to get ahead. Right up to the final whistle it was so close. But with just with 5 seconds to go KUBS lost possession of the ball which proved very expensive and slick shot from Brugge at the whistle dropped in to pluck it from KUBS hands by just one point.
Although the boys won’t be bringing home some silverware this time, they’ll have learned a lot from this Flanders tournament. They proved how strong they are with some brilliant wins against some tough competition. We hope they have enjoyed themselves

Major progress being made in Carroll Arena hall and floor refinishing, thanks to the long hours and very hard work put in by Vinny, Brian Keogh, Hugh Morris, Mucky and others.
The pictures tell it all.

Sticking and painting before the final coats.
Just to prove it wasn't all hard work over in Belgium. The lads had a great time in the funpark.
Amazing work.
Thanks from everyone in KUBS.
KUBS BOYS DO US PROUD

A great day of basketball started very early out at Arena in Tallaght were the Provincial Games were held today Sun. 29th. The Leinster teams had a great day when all was done around 5.30pm. The under 14Boys and girls came away with nice wins, when up against very strong Munster sides in the finals. Our KUBS boys played excellent games with some amazing and timely 3point shots from Gary, along with skillful and cool headed Andrew who dropped in his share of the points with style. Dylan Kessie didn’t let the side down either and showed his brilliance under the basket and defense talents by being in the right place at the right time. In the development team our own Shane McCann had a good day out also, with two wins, but met a very strong Munster side in the final, that just nipped past them for the win.
The Leinster girls played very well, and congratulations to them also.
In what we hope will be a great tradition in the future for KUBS as our players move up in the years, Ross McCann received the first international cap for a KUBS player, at an award ceremony out in the Arena this Sunday. The development team had a great win against Wales about a month back.
It's also great to announce that Ross is looking forward to coaching the U11 boys for next season.

JUST A SNEAK VIEW AT THE NEW STATE OF THE ART NBA FINISH
This place now looks so good we thought it might be better just to let you see a little bit at a time.
A huge thanks to Connor Sports Floors for their very generous sponsorship of refinishing our court floor. Many thanks must also go to Tembec Europe Ltd for all their expertise that is available locally with Peter, Tom and Daragh being so helpful.
