Moycullen Basketball's u-16 girls are the new All-Ireland champions, two years after winning the u-14 crown.

Moycullen will be looking to salvage some pride on Saturday when they host Neptune in the second leg of the the Irish Cup in the Kingfisher at NUIG.

Several players from Galway have been selected on Irish youth basketball squads after the West Region defeated their northern counterparts in the final of the Basketball Ireland Post-Primary Schools’ u-15 Tom Collins' Interregionals.

Moycullen girls topped their group, beating both St Mary’s, Castleisland, and Sligo Warriors on Saturday before edging Limerick Celtics by 34 - 32 in the last quarter of the division 1 semi-final on Sunday. Paired against surprise packets Killinkere, who beat a fancied Brunell team from Cork, this decider was a thriller. Moycullen enjoyed a great start to lead 14- 4 after the first quarter, but Killenkere came back strongly to reduce the deficit to three at half time, and with just three minutes on the clock in the fourth, they took the lead.

Three Galway veteran athletes, who qualified for the British and Irish Masters Home Nations Cross Country, were a central part of winning teams at the weekend.
