History walked back onto the court as part of our milestone 40th-anniversary celebrations. In a brilliant “Then and Now” reunion, members of the legendary 1983/84 U16 Girls All-Ireland Championship squad laced up their runners once again to face off against a spirited team of Davitt College teachers.

It was a fantastic, high-energy afternoon of hoops that perfectly bridged the school’s decorated sporting past with its present. Decades after capturing the ultimate national prize for the school, the returning champions showed they hadn’t lost their touch, trading clinical baskets and tactical plays with the staff in a highly competitive scrimmage.

Past Meets Present in High-Octane Scrimmage

The event wasn’t just about the scoreboard – it was a true celebration of community. With plenty of fresh faces getting involved on the court and a brilliant atmosphere in the stands, the afternoon was filled with shared stories, rolling laughs, and great memories.

A massive well done to everyone who took part, organised the day, or came down to cheer from the sidelines. Bringing four decades of basketball heritage full circle on the court proved exactly why the sport remains such a vital, vibrant part of the school spirit. Here’s to the next 40 years of hoops! 🏀🏆🎉✨👏
