See pictures from New Ross basketball club's award night
Held at The Parish Pump in Rosbercon, New Ross last month, the night was filled with excitement, recognition, and heartfelt appreciation from all involved with the club. The newly renovated lounge at The Parish Pump was completely filled, with not an empty seat in sight as players, families, and supporters gathered to celebrate the club's successful season. The enthusiastic crowd created a fantastic atmosphere, making the night truly memorable.
The club presented players across eight different groups, including Academy, U15 and U17 Girls, Ladies, Men, U15, U16, and U18 Boys, with a variety of awards to recognise standout performances on and off the court; athletes who were admired by their teammates and those who stood out to the coaching staff; and to celebrate promising young players making an impact in their respective categories.
Additional medals were awarded to players who demonstrated remarkable commitment throughout the season, as Coaches' Pick Medals were presented to select Academy and U15 Boys players, personally chosen by the coaching staff for their dedication and improvement, while similarly, medals were presented to the U15 and U17 Girls for their impressive performances in the KSE League, highlighting their determination and teamwork.
The U18 Boys also received presentation medals to honour their dedication throughout the season.
One of the biggest highlights of the night was the celebration of the U16 Boys, who were awarded their KSE League winners' medals and trophy. Their impressive journey to victory demonstrated their skill and commitment. In recognition of their inspirational coaching and leadership, Coaches Darren and Jack were presented with Top Coach awards by the club, celebrating their guidance and impact on the team.
To cap off the night, Nicola Gannon, the chairperson of New Ross Sparks Basketball Club, was awarded the Clubperson of the Year award, an honour voted for by the parents. 'Her dedication, hard work, and passion for the club did not go unnoticed, making her a deserving recipient of this prestigious recognition,' said Amanda Mylett, on behalf of the committee.
The club also took a moment to show appreciation for the dedicated volunteers who contributed throughout the year, including table officials, St. Mary's New Ross Hall manager, and one of the club's biggest sponsors, the owner of Eurohome New Ross. 'Their support was invaluable, with Eurohome New Ross playing a crucial role in sponsorship, it provided essential resources for the club, including the first-aid kits,' Ms Mylett added.
In addition, the club expressed gratitude to the coaches and committee members, whose tireless efforts ensure the club thrives. A heartfelt recognition was given to Anthony, Anne Marie, Nicola, John, Amanda, Jack, Darren, Laura, Aisling, and Martynas, honouring their dedication to the success and development of the club.
The committee members extended their thanks to The Parish Pump 'for hosting such an important night for the club as their hospitality and support helped make the event a resounding success, providing a fantastic venue for the club's annual celebration'.
'The awards night was not just a celebration of success, but also a reflection of the club's community spirit and commitment to fostering talent. With such a strong season behind them, the club is now looking forward to even greater achievements in the year ahead,' Ms Mylett concluded.
