U15 KUBS Boys "Famous 5" Romp Past Bray Bullets
Our U15 Boys went on a bit of a 5-man rampage while playing away to Bray Bullets last weekend. Despite working with just the skeleton crew Coach Fionn was able to keep the boys focused and out of foul trouble for the entire game. And what a testament to the fitness and stamina of these guys to go the whole game without subs. Ryan Spillane did very well with his powerful drives to the basket, scoring 20 pts. Conner was strong on the boards. Milo controlled and paced the game well, while Cillian was killing it from the midrange. Chris drove to basket throughout the game. Well done to all the boys and of course to Coach Fionn McCloskey. Final score - KUBS 48 v Bray Bullets 28
KUBS Div 1 Win v TempleogueOur Division 1 guys were in action tonight away to Templeogue and came home with another great win. These two teams hit the boards with the same vigour and went neck and neck for the first quarter ending it 15 to 14 for Templeogue. The second quarter was much of the same with the host team still keeping a slight edge with a score line of 40 to 36. But it wasn’t until the last quarter that the KUBS lads really stepped it up and this made all the difference as they scored 19 points to Templeogue’s 9. It was a great effort by the Div 1 lads and of course a great result for Coach Josko Srzic.

KUBS U15 GIRLS SHOOT PAST STRONG METEORS
Something Special happened on Saturday in KUBS.
The U15 girls played Meteors at home in what would turn out to one of their strongest performances to date. Kate returned after her month of dancing and made her presence felt on court straight away through strong play and great communication to the rest of the team. Niamh, Onome & Madeleine did a fantastic job in defence causing a very good Meteors side to struggle to get inside for a shot. At the other end the screens worked beautifully and the hard work through the winter started to pay off as the girls started landing their three-point shots and played together as a tight team. Grace who joined us this year had a stormer of a game winning a bucketful of defensive and offensive rebounds. The help defence for the whole game was outstanding. Sadbh came on and put their guards under a lot pressure. Emily was landing threes to beat the band and the girls were picking up a lot of rebounds all over the court from a tall Meteors side. Naimh, Onome and Grace really stepped up for this game. Congratulations to all the girls for a good win and bring on next week for the semi-final in the Cup.

U16 Boys Home Win v St VincentsKUBS U16 Boys were in action today in a home game v St Vincents. The guys put on a first-class performance and despite a height disadvantage under the net at times, the boys kept their composure and looked to be in control. Once again, these guys are still unbeaten in the League. It was an indication of what progress has been made with this KUBS team as they only beat this same Vincents team by a point at the start of the season.

Sean Morgan selected for Dublin U14 TeamCongratulations to ace KUBS player Sean Morgan who has been selected for the U14 Dublin Team that will travel to Barcelona for the Tomas Sola International Tournament, which takes place over Easter. Sean has always had amazing ability that is well beyond his years and has proved it time and time again while playing up at higher levels. A natural ball player, he plays with tremendous energy and great team spirit where he’s unselfish with the ball. Basketball isn’t the only sport he leaves his mark on. Rumour has it he doesn’t disappoint on the Gaelic pitch either. Well done Sean, KUBS and your team are very proud of you.
KUBS Div 1 Team notch up away win to FBC.

A team filled to the brim with amazing talent kept Ireland fans on the edge of their seats in a very exciting third place playoff. A textbook display of unselfish team plays with precision passing like they had eyes in the back of their heads was on show in all their games. An inspiring performance from all players with a team focus most clubs would wish for. Well done to coach and players.
