It has been announced this evening that Maree’s Michelle Fahy is to be inducted into the Basketball Ireland Hall of Fame.
Fahy is considered the best post player in Irish basketball history for her magnificence at collegiate, national league and international level.
After coming up through the ranks with Maree and Calasanctius College in her native Galway, Fahy played NCAA D1 ball with Iona College, New York, where in her senior year she averaged a conference-leading 19 points a game.
After two successful stints at Glanmire and UL Huskies, Fany retired in 2013 only to come back and help her home club Maree win the National Intermediate Cup in 2017.
Now living in her native town, Michelle continues to serve the club as a coach in its underage section.
Michelle will join Ken Black, Jerome Westbrooks and Shane Coughlan who will also be inducted into Basketball Ireland's Hall of Fame at the Basketball Ireland Annual Awards ceremony on Saturday, May 23rd at The Osprey Hotel in Naas.
