There is also set to be pressure on volunteers who are “allowed” to check vaccine status. In reality this means a team turning up to our indoor session and a child being turned away from a game because they are unvaccinated.

That same child will likely have been in class with his teammates all week and there has been no issue with that. But when it comes to basketball participation an issue exists.

It’s worth remembering with vaccine uptake that there are certain cohorts of society that have had lower uptake. These same cohorts are the ones that sport is seen as a means to integrate into society. Yet kids will be turned away due to this rule.

We hope that sense prevails and that clubs are allowed to continue indoors for all u18s and to continue with the protective measures that we already have in place.

We are NOT back Sport Ireland not allowing kids to compete after not having basketball for 18 months because they don’t have a vaccine they’re not eligible for but can play in PE is 🗣 INSANE!!!

Raised the new Covid guidelines for Basketball with the Taoiseach today. These need to be reviewed urgently and clarification given in order to allow everyone get back on the court.

Well done to Ms Carey and our @cbscastle 1st year team that won The East Plate today in The National Basketball Arena. Commiserations to an excellent Holy Family CS, Rathcoole team who pushed the boys all the way.

Thank you coach and team

Our U14 Basketballers won their All Ireland qualifying tournament today. They now progress to the last 8 of The U14 A All Ireland Cup in March! An Caisleán Abú!

The club specifically asked people to respect the privacy of Diogo’s family yet Mail Sport has published photos of his loved ones in their most vulnerable moments. Absolutely despicable outlet, always has been and always will be.
