KUBS OVERCOME THE LILLY WHITES
Dublin cup boys under 13 - semi final
KUBS 32 Kildare Gliders 25
The KUBS boys were well up for this closely contested semi. Kildare had a big league win over KUBS just one week ago and the lads were well aware of what they needed to do to reverse that performance. The first quarter saw KUBS leading 7 to 5 and they held this margin at the half. The game was end to end in the third and fourth but the boys found their true form and finished in good style. Once again "Duracell " Jack Kelly " played his heart out hitting 13 points and we saw some very nice team passing and the scores being shared across the panel. Altogether, it was a great team performance by all. The boys now go forward to the Dublin finals for the third year in a row, being champions over the previous 2 years and join our under 14 and under 17 boys who equally excelled in qualifying for the finals.
Congratulations to coaches Luke, Gary and manager Dave and best wishes in the big one

U16 Boys in victory over Tolka
Our KUBS U16 boys were away to Tolka last Friday evening and managed an impressive win. The boys were not under a lot of pressure but kept their level of play high enough to maintain their lead. Well done
U17 Boys take home game with comfort
In a busy weekend for the KUBS club, the Under 17 boys held up their end by taking a home game win over Tolka. The Tolka boys but on a strong defence performance but seemed to be short some players also. As usual there was an excellent performance from Tolka's Tom Kenny who was responsible for a lot of the Tolka's scoring. (There was a notable check on Tom by none other than our recent return Simon during his spell in the game.) Altogether everyone got a chance to keep game fit and help put some scores on the board. Ross had a good game and just as well because he was being watched by some of his U12 team who had played just before.
U11 Boys end with a nail biting win.
With great determination and amazing grit for such young players, the U11 lads kept the pressure up right to the end of a very close and nerve-wracking game. What great spirit both of these teams displayed. Keeping up the pace got them the win they wanted so bad even if it was by just one point. Great stuff and well done Andrew and the lads.
U12 Boys settle in well for another win.
A home game for the U12 boys against Lions was in fact two games in a row as some of them play on the U11 team also. So it was extra nice for them to have two wins as well. They didn't show signs of tiredness but with fresh players added it spreads out load. It was a comfortable win this time and a nice sporting game.

New U14 Dublin team selection.
Last Sunday saw the first phase of the U14 Boys Dublin team selection process take place. There was a great turnout on the day and the standard was very high. This team will represent Dublin in Liege in what has always been a great travel and game boosting experience for these young players.
Well done to all the boys that made it through.
And special congrats to our KUBS boys, Ryan Lawlor and Jack Kelly (U13) who went through. Best of luck with the other training sessions
Dublin Thunder hosted Tuaras BC last Saturday night in the Carroll Arena at 8pm. The game was a very one sided mismatch with no competition for the Thunder lads. The guys now go on to focus on next Fridays Cup Final.
Go Thunder

KUBS go international
in South Africa
Yes, all the way from South Africa we have KUBS supporters, and a bit better dressed than our own Muckey, it appears. Damian Nolan (from Brookwood Road) and his lovely wife Bernadine together with their beautiful daughters Clare and Shannon will now be rooting for the club from afar. Damian is a life long friend of Muckeys and played basketball over many a long day and evening in the school yard in Killester way back in the 80's. Indeed Muckey was best man at their wedding out in Johannesburg years ago and returned this weekend to help celebrate Bernadines significant birthday.
Many thanks must go to Proteam who produced the hoodies at virtually no notice for Muckey to bring over. That's the Proteam service that's hard to match. Happy birthday to Bernadine and best wishes to Damian and the girls.
KUBS players will be out in force to support their Dublin Thunder team as they take on UCD Marian in the Cup Final being held this Friday in the Arena.
As a special treat for all the KUBS members we have acquired a large number of tickets at a very reduced price. For all those wishing to attend this game the details are as follows :-
Meeting at Greendale at 7.00pm. Lifts will be sorted and arranged with any willing parents. Game to start at 8.00pm and we expect to home about 10.00pm to 10.15pm. Can each team manager act as a contact point for making arrangments.
