KUBS U18 Mens Team Go Through 
from Cup Weekend In Gormanstown

KUBS U18 Mens team put on a great display of basketball skills over the weekend out in Gormanstown. It was the preliminary stages of the 2018 -19 season Hula Hoops Cup. In a draw that saw them kick off their games pitched against a very strong Moycullen, it was a case of hitting the ground running, even with some missing players to injuries. Moycullen proved too strong in the end, but the guys brought it down to a 6 point gap at one stage. They ended their weekend with another game against Moycullen, but with three wins under the belt, they had to accept another loss to them. Well done lads.

National League Win In Galway

With just a crew of eight travelling to Galway to meet the Titans in “The Jes” the guys were expecting to get plenty of game time. And so they did and they each made good use of the their time on court. Eoin Chubb had his usual monster game (12 points) and lobbed some great passes to Elijah Tillman (26 points) who was mostly able to finish them uncontested, despite being triple teamed in the key at times. Stephen/Sean Ingle were keeping things under control coming up the court and managed a nice 17 points for “their” day out. Leo Rowies managed to get some good court time and certainly kept things lit with speed and steals. It was also a good Galway trip for the twin peaks Eoin McCann and Cillian O’Driscoll. They caused Titans a lot of trouble with their extra height and agility. Sean Daly was in full control of the ball while on the court and set up some shots with slick passes. Conor McCracken managed to get on the score sheet also and was back to his old rebounding form. Altogether a great away game for the lads and with such brilliant hosts as the Titans looking after everyone with teas and sandwiches, it made for a very enjoyable day also.
Final Score KUBS 81 – Titans 63   

HOME COURT CUP WIN

The Div 1 Mens Team squeezed out a 4 point NICC Cup win last night in Greendale. It was the first leg NICC Cup game and was closely contested by Carlow Rock. Carlow put in a tough game and had plenty of 3-point shooters to pick from. KUBS were determined to not let this one slip away and turned up some major pressure towards the end. Jack Rogers had a great game and managed to be cool under pressure on free throw in the final quarter. Good rotation from the KUBS bench kept fresh legs on the court which helped maintain the pace. Well done lads.  

And we're back!

The Famous 5

KUBS U12 boys managed a stunning victory over a determined Ongar side despite having to play the game with no subs. Eoin ran the show, and with an incredible 15 points from Olitha and impressive 8 from Sean. Jude cleaned up on rebounds while adding to the score. Matthew with only his second appearance in Greendale looked like a seasoned pro. Their coach Joseph Walsh was happy with the performance and said there’s plenty more to come...

U15 Boys Get Home Court Win

A great home win was notched up by our U15 Boys today. They played Northside Eclipse in Greendale and put in a great performance. Well done lads.
