Our u14 boys on take on the best in Tralee tournament
Awards Night 2018It was a packed house in Fortwilliam Golf Club for the Star Awards Gala. After such a winning season for all our underage teams, it was hugely difficult to pick out the creme de la creme. But our wily coaches eventually dished out awards to the MIPs and MVPs on each team.
And there was a special award for our sponsored teams in the Belfast Marathon who raided mony for both the club and the Community Search and Rescue service in memory of the late Michael Cullen, a former member of Belfast Star. A great night was had by all. 
Another incredible season of victories for Star teams Write up in the Belfast Telegraph describes a terrific season for Star
Once again, our players and coaches have had an incredible season and have cemented our place at the forefront of Ulster basketball.
Across the board in 2017-18, our League and Cup wins are a credit to the commitment of all those involved and are a great indication of a bright future ahead. Reflecting on the season just past, u14 Coach Martin Sherlock said: “The team have worked incredibly hard throughout the season and are fully deserving of their league and cup success. Strength to strength “Spearheaded by the scoring of Darragh Ferguson and Iandle Alvarado, the composure of Niall Morgan and rebounding skills of Niall Quinn, this young team have grown from strength to strength. “These players are well supported by the shooting skills of Luke O’Connor, Conal McGirr and Saul Sherlock while Dara Maguire, Patrick Lynch and Tiarnan McCormick always deliver strong performances." All-Ireland After a thrilling cup win against Letterkenny Blaze the team then headed to compete in the All-Ireland club finals. U18 Coach Gerard Ryan was equally praiseworthy of his charges. “The guys had another great season, going unbeaten in the league and winning the playoff final against Phoenix in a good battle in the Antrim Forum. Third unbeaten season “We were a little short on numbers this season but got great help from the u16 team. Consistent super performances from Niall McGinnity and John Smye, backed by the play from Ethan Gibson and Eoin Nagle, helped secure a third successive unbeaten season.” Now available -
