TITANS - Basketball Club

Lunchtime Friday the Titan early school leavers set off from Westside on a Bank holiday Friday for the 6 hour version of a 2.5 hr journey to Castleisland.  A quick wedding crash with the Team in Templeglantine was followed by an hour sitting in traffic in Abbeyfeale.  Finally Killarney Nike store, a disappointment of no basketball boots , fed foddered and a quick jaunt up Torc mountain.  The early evening dusk accentuated the white water of Torc waterfall, a 12 yr old tells me that the 2 stars in the sky are actually Jupiter and Venus.  The final jaunt to Castleisland was a feast of face painting in the blue and white that culminated with our arrival in the gym in C'island resembling a scene from Braveheart.  The 300 locals who filled the gym were there more to be entertained than to support as was evidenced in their lack of a responce to the singing and chanting and roaring of the 30 strong Titan cohort.

 

At 2pm this afternoon, The u15 Boys took on a very capable Corrib Team at St.Marys.The Main Threat for Corrib was our friend and colleague..

The Day started badly with ONLY "Four" very committed Girls u12, Parents,Team Manager and a coach heading out to Killanin at 9am to play a game against a very facilitative Moycullen side(who loaned us three players).Well Done to those who came and played!
