St. Mary’s Secondary School, Baldoyle has landed a sponsorship deal with the Dublin Airport Authority (DAA) for all their successful Basketball Teams.
The sponsorship was organised by PE Teacher, Robert Fennell with Maura Cassidy, Manager Community Affairs from the DAA.
Basketball is a very popular sport in St. Mary’s and one in which they have enjoyed great success over the years. Winning the SSA Under 16 Division 2 Championships in 2009 and were runners up in the SSA Under 16 Division One Championship, both finals being held in the National Basketball Arena in Tallaght. St. Mary’s has won the Under 16 Division titles on 6 previous occasions from 2002 to 2007. The Under 19 Senior 1 team have been SSA Basketball Finalists in 2004, 2007 and 2008. A great achievement for a small school like St. Mary’s.
Maura Cassidy recently made the presentation of the newly sponsored sports kit to Ms. Siobhan O’ Connell, Principal. Hopefully, this will be the start of a very fruitful partnership. Ms O’ Connell thanked the DAA for their generous sponsorship while Ms. Cassidy wished St. Mary’s the best of luck in their future matches.
