Irish Teams top notch performance dominates weekend.
It must have been a very disheartening weekend for the travelling Wales teams as a huge void was opened up between them and the Irish boys and girls. It started with an early game on Saturday morning and at first the feeling was that the early travelling and flight times might be affecting the players a little. But as the weekend went on, it became obvious that a large gap in skill level was plain to see between the two countries. A defeat to Scotland only added to the slide. Game after game the Welsh boys and girls took a hammering. They did come back fighting after a half-time talk out in the Arena, but it wasn’t enough. Wales, it has to be said, held their head up, right to the end throughout all their games, which can be hard to do under a relentless onslaught. It was nice to see all the Irish boys and girls in their new Ireland gear including Gary Barron, Michael Curley and Shane McCann plus for the U15 boys getting their first caps. Well done to all.
Under 14 Boys come out winners in Tolka Spring Tournament
Kubs U14 Boys competed in the Tolka Spring Tournament on 28-29 April. The boys played Moycullen in the Plate final and were triumphant 37-32. The plate final turned out to be a very close exciting contest between two equally matched teams, and this was reflected in the score at the end of normal time which was level at 30-30. In the end two additional overtime sessions were required to separate the teams. Thankfully our boys dug deep and managed to outscore Moycullen to end the season on a high note. - Lee Graham

Our Under 12 lads travelled to Sligo town last Saturday on an invitation to play in a nicely competitive mini-tournament. The Sligo lads were grateful to receive the travelling teams as there is no league for this age group in their area. It would be a busy day for all the boys as there were four games to get through in a short amount of time. Our boys rose to the challenge and quickly worked their way to the final with 3 nice wins under their belt. The final of the day proved to be a very exciting affair with the teams matched very well. These two had met earlier in the day and the KUBS lads had won that match, but by just one basket. So it was that this St. Fechins team were out to undo the hurt from the previous defeat. In the end they got what they wanted and worked up to a 10 point lead. The KUBS team were well exhausted having come straight from a game into the final, but still managed to put in a great performance. All really enjoyed the day and greatly appreciated the warm welcome and generous looking after they received from the Sligo club. We at KUBS would like to say a very big thank you for the great sense of occasion you provided us with on the day. We look forward to returning the favour soon.
U 12 Boys enjoy successful trip to Sligo.
What a performance by our U13 Girls in Dublin Lions Tournament
The U13 girls who participated in the Dublin Lions tournament Sunday put in an amazing performance for the KUBS club. There was an excellent standard with teams from all over Ireland participating. KUBS had an early start at 9am against the home side, Lions Select, who were both skilful and physical. KUBS overcame their opponents in a narrow and closely fought game by 5 points. Their next game at 1pm was against Queens from Belfast. Our KUBS girls were up for his one and did everything right winning convincingly by 10 points. With the winners of each pool going forward to the final the 3rd game was essentially the semi final as the opponents, St Joseph's from Kerry were also unbeaten in the pool. Unfortunately a combination of the early start, tiredness and the outstanding play from St Joseph's was too much for our KUBS girls, however it has to be said they never gave up and showed fantastic sportsmanship throughout the day.
St Joseph's went on to win the final beating a very strong Oblates Dynamos.
Well done to all who played and a special thanks to coach Claire & assistant Con for giving up their Sunday once again for KUBS.
