Kevin Craig, Chair of Basketball NI commented, “The three days of Junior Finals not only mark the official end of the season but also provide a fantastic opportunity to celebrate an incredible year for basketball in Northern Ireland. I’d like to extend my sincere thanks to James and the team at Titanic Quarter Ltd for their invaluable support and sponsorship, helping us make this a truly special weekend of basketball.
With our largest-ever funding award from Sport NI, the sport is making tremendous strides forward. Participation numbers are climbing, new clubs and teams are emerging, and the growth of our ‘Team NI’ international pathway is particularly exciting. Initiatives like ‘She Got Game,’ our Primary Schools Outreach, and Basketball for Good are inspiring more young people—boys and girls alike—to get involved. The future of basketball in Northern Ireland has never looked brighter, and we look forward to building on this momentum.”
