Wexford Macra U-Bet Night

Bree take Basketball County Round in close affair

It was as close as it gets in the Wexford Macra Basketball final with Bree Macra taking the title from Cushinstown on the smallest of margins in Good Counsel, New Ross. Both sides gave it there all and the lead changed hands many times before Bree took the contest with a basket as the whistle sounded. Well done to both teams and thank you to Cushinstown for hosting and to Good Counsel for the use of their facilities.
