Double All Ireland Wins

Two All-Ireland titles in three days is a remarkable haul for a parish the size of Rathmore but it became a reality on Wednesday when the young basketballers of Scoil Phobail Sliabh Luachra emulated the achievements of the Rathmore footballers three days earlier. Under 16A basketballers clinched a national title of their own in the All-Ireland Schools Cup decider. They made history with a comprehensive 61-38 victory over Coláiste Éanna of Dublin in an entertaining final during which Scoil Phobail Sliabh Luachra always held the upper hand.
