U16 Girls Top Their Group in Bray

U16 Cavan Eagles – Basketball Ireland Regional Tournament

The Cavan Eagles travelled to Bray today for the Basketball Ireland Regional Tournament, hosted by Dublin Raiders Basketball. It proved to be a fantastic event, with teams gathering from every corner of the country — Donegal Town, Brunell (Cork), Dublin Raiders, Ballina Pacers (Mayo), Tipperary Knights, and of course, our own Cavan Eagles. Huge credit is due to Dublin Raiders for organising such an excellent tournament.

The Eagles opened their campaign against the hosts, Dublin Raiders, and a superb first-half performance laid the foundation for a 27–23 victory. Next up were the Ballina Pacers, and once again the girls rose to the occasion. A strong all-round team effort secured a 41–29 win, allowing the Eagles to top their group.

Finishing first in their pool set up a final showdown with Brunell, who had also topped their group. Despite fatigue on both sides after a long day of competition, the teams produced a thrilling contest, with the lead changing hands no fewer than seven times. Trailing by five points at the end of the third quarter, the Eagles showed tremendous resilience and energy, rallying in the final period to claim a 32–27 victory.

A huge well done to every player on the team. Everyone at Cavan Eagles is incredibly proud of you. 🦅🏀
