Masters Battle Through a Packed Day in Dublin

🏀 Masters Tournament Action for the Eagles 🏀

The Over 40’s Masters Team were back in action today at the annual Dublin Masters Tournament, competing across three venues around Dublin in a packed day of basketball.

First up was a hard-fought clash against Belfast, with the sides going score for score right into the fourth quarter before Eagles pulled away late to secure a 6-point win.

Game two saw Eagles face Colby, featuring a visiting US side put together by Michael Westbrooks of the well-known Westbrooks family. Colby’s sharp execution and familiarity proved decisive as they claimed the win by 11 points.

The final game of the day brought another tight battle against Templeogue. After an even first half, Eagles found another gear in the third quarter and pushed on for an impressive victory to finish the day strongly.

The team now turns its attention to tomorrow morning’s Silver Semi-Final, where they will face visiting side Zurich at 11:00am in Coláiste Éanna.

🗣️ Coach Darragh Gaffney: “It was great to get the Masters team together again and take the court. Three games across a day is demanding, but welcoming some visiting players for the day meant everyone was able to get good court time.”
