Mayo Young Sports Stars: Shooting the lights out

St. Muredach's College, Ballina, tasted basketball glory in early 2024 when they won an All-Ireland Under 19 boys league and cup double.

In a team peppered with talent, Mark Cunningham, the captain, was a consistent high performer as the schoolboys swept all before them, and he took that form into his club basketball with Ballina Braves, operating very competitively at national level at both senior and Under 20 grades.

Ballina has a strong basketball reputation and players like this will only cement that further.

For his efforts, Mark has been been selected as a winner in the Connaught Telegraph Mayo Young Sports Stars Awards 2024.

The awards presentation ceremony will be held on Friday, March 7, in Breaffy House Resort, Castlebar. For details, contact Aiden Henry on (087) 6582141 or aiden.henry@con-telegraph.ie.
