U14 game: On Tuesday the 14th the 14 Boys A basketball team played Skibbereen in a phenomenal start to their season.
Right away the boys secured themselves a strong early lead which they maintained from start to finish. They dominated in both defence and offence throughout the game with the majority of players scoring well, especially Michael Hayden and Charlie Downey. In the end our boys finished their introductory game with a well-earned win.
Scorers:
U14: Donnacha Cronin Murphy 4, Harry Curran 5, Calvin O’ Brien 6, Eoin McCarthy 7, Conor O ‘ Mahony 10, Charlie Downey 19, Michael Hayden 19.
U15 game: This Tuesday the 14th our U15 A Boys basketball team faced off against Skibbereen. The Skibbereen boys pushed into the lead by the end of the first quarter, but our boys commendably kept their heads up throughout the game. Players fought hard to stay with Skibbereen with Charlie Downey impressively and repeatedly attacking the basket and good hustles from players such as Conor Hourihan keeping the ball in our possession.
Unfortunately Skibbereen fought hard from start to finish and earned their win in the end, but not without a strong effort from CPB whose heads did not drop at any point.
Scorers
U15: Conor Hourihan. 2, Max Leahy 4, Rory Breen 5, Michael Hayden 10, Charlie Downey 18.
