The season is drawing to a close for the first and second year girls basketballers in Hazelwood College. The first year team have had great success to date boasting three wins out of three pool games. They will now go through to the semi-final of the Limerick Schoolgirls League next month.
The second year team have had mixed results with one great win over Coláiste Mhuire Askeaton and two losses in hard fought matches. This team will wait in hope to see if they will qualify for the play-offs in the next couple of weeks.
Great credit is due to both teams of girls for their hard work and enthusiasm in the pool stages. We wish them the best of luck and hope to see just reward at the end of the season in March of this year.
