EARLY NEW SEASON FRIENDLY: PHOENIX U16 BOYS v SWORDS
Last week the head coach of our 2024-25 U16 A boys team - Simon Kennedy - announced his squad for next season.
Not hanging around Simon arranged an early season 'warmer-upper' with a game against Swords Basketball Club U16s (Head Coach Emer Howard).
Swords proved challenging opposition - particularly in the first half of the game as our guys took a while to get going - while Swords hit their straps straightaway (they scored from the tip!).
The second half was a much more even affair - with Oisin Holman in particular showing up - as he finished top scorer for Phoenix with an impressive 22 points.
Swords were well deserving of their 17 points win (52-69).
We hope Emer and her lads benefited from the game in the same way as our coaches Simon and Joby Holman and our boys did!
Thank you Swords for making the trip.
Final Score: Phoenix 52-69 Swords
