On the 19th of May, the boys played a basketball blitz against Crusheen, Saint Conaires, Barefield, Doora and Kilnaboy. They won every match including against the red hot favourites Barefield, beating them by the largest amount. everybody enjoyed themselves very much and it was a great day. Especially for those who were supporting and didnt have to learn in school!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
On the 26th of May, the boys went to the Gaeilscoil to play basketball matches. The teams they played were Gaeilscoil, Kilrush, Lahinch and Saint Conaires of Shannon. They won against Gaeilscoil, Kilrush and Lahinch with everybody giving it their best, but unfortunately they lost their first match against Saint Conaires of Shannon. They won the final against Saint Conaires again and played outstandingly. They are now crowned the champions of the first ever basketball boys league.
