Star's U16 squad got off to an eagerly anticipated start at the weekend against Queen's B.C. Since Rip n' Run camp in the summer the boys have been preparing for their season ahead, keen to get of to a good start.
All players were able to get on the score board in the first quarter while holding the Queen's offence to 5 points (23-5). Isaac Byrne was a noticeable presence on the boards at both ends and very strong particularly when Jack Corr was able to find him at the low post.
The second quarter was much the same with consistent scores from Sean Mc Parland and Josh Briers providing a comfortable lead going into the half (43-9).
Throughout the game the U16 players were able to show a lot of variety in their offensive plays, making good decisions while keeping up a high intensity and pressuring the wall on defence.
After nursing an illness last week, Niall Mc Keown stood out in the last quarter with 5 rebounds and 8 points.
The next U16 game will be at Tyrone Towers on Saturday 16th November.
