St Michael’s Basketball Club, Lixnaw, is delighted to see the club continue to grow since being re-established in 2024, with the formation of our new U16 boys team marking another exciting milestone.
The newly formed team and their Coaches Christina Stack & Nicola O’Brien took to the court for their first challenge game last Thursday night against Ballymac Bobcats in Tralee, delivering a fantastic performance in a competitive encounter. The boys showed great determination, teamwork and skill throughout the game, giving everyone at the club plenty to be proud of. Wishing them the very best of luck as they prepare for Kerry Area Basketball Board (KABB) league campaign later this month.
We are absolutely delighted to have Stack’s Londis Lixnaw continue to sponsor our club kits for the new season ahead, huge thank you to Seamus, Triona and all the Stack family for their continued support. With teams across the club also preparing for the upcoming KABB leagues, excitement is building for the season ahead. The continued growth of St Michael’s Basketball Club reflects the dedication of its players, coaches, volunteers and families, all of whom play an important role in developing basketball in the Lixnaw community along with the huge support given from Lixnaw community centre committee.
Great fun was had at first Mothers & Others Social club for our first night back this season last Tuesday night, this will continue every Tuesday night in Lixnaw Community Centre at 8.30pm and new members very welcome.
Everyone at St Michael’s is looking forward to a fantastic season of basketball, with plenty of opportunities for players to develop their skills, enjoy the game and represent our club with pride.
