This is the third time teams from Malahide Basketball Club have played in our area in the last ten years. Barbara McCarthy, from Our Lady of Sorrows School, is originally from Malahide and played high-school basketball with both of this year’s coaches. She coordinates the games and the teams run a lot of fundraising events back in Dublin to be able to afford the trip.
