​Basketball has undergone a huge transformation here at Mercy, having a recent but very successful history. We have three Basketball teams here at Mercy - First year, Second year and Senior Under 16s. All teams play in the North Eastern Basketball Schools League. There are 20 registered players per team.

Last year, both our First and Second year teams were promoted from their respective divisions, with the Second year team winning their regional final outright. Under-16's were successful last year in reaching the C final meaning they have now achieved two successive promotions - a huge achievement! 

Training takes place every Tuesday and Thursday at lunch time on the basketball courts. When the NE Basketball schools league finishes up in late March, we will be starting a Mini Schools League where students from each year group are invited to play basketball in friendly matches.

We also look forward to rewarding players at the end of the year and in particular, awarding our chosen Basketball Junior and Senior Basketball player of the year at the annual Prizegiving ceremony in May. 

Many thanks to our Basketball coaches, Ms. Commane, Ms. Dignam, Ms. Farrell and Ms. Walsh for their consistent time and effort.
