Galway Basketballers To The Fore As Ireland Reach World Championship Final

One of the big sports stories last weekend was the achievement of the Irish 45s Women on reaching The FIMBA World Maxibasketball Championship Final in Switzerland.

The team was one of five teams that travelled to the championships with the 40 Women finishing third and great results for the other teams.

Five Galway Basketball players featured, with two of them, Georgina Ni Hasa and Mary Cunniffe playing in the World Championship Final.

Padraig Cregg from Moycullen was on the F40 Men's team with Nollag Cunningham and Mike Murray playing with the Men's F50 team.
