UNDER 16 BASKETBALL
CCA under-16s Basketball team played North Wicklow Educate Together in CCA on Wednesday, September 26, in the League Cup.
Coach Mr Craven said that the CCA team played very well, with very little separating the sides. They were unlucky to finally lose the game by two points with the final score 14-12. Mr Craven especially complemented both teams for a very sporting performance.
Some of the stand out players for CCA included Lukas Geciauskas-Devignat, Ben O’Neill and Seán Brady.
The CCA team consisted of Seán Lundy, Jeremiah Scott, Ryan Hayden, Seán Brady, Charlie Frawley, Luke Frawley, Charlie Traynor, Lukas Geciauskas-Devignat, Ben O’Neill and Ben Ryan Michael Byrne.
