About Basketball Ireland / Irish Basketball Association Cups

The Irish Basketball Association ran the National Cup for the Top Two Divisions as well as any regional teams that wished to enter in both Men’s and Women’s as well as Junior (Under 19) Cup for both Men and Women as well as a Junior B (U19) Regional Cup for both Men and Women. The Cups were Knockout (single elimination) from the First Round. They were replaced by Super League and Division 1 Cups when the Association rebranded as Basketball Ireland in 2003. The Junior (U19) Cups were replaced by Under 20 and Under 18 Cups. Other Cups included the Irish Wheelchair Basketball Cup and introduced in the late 2010s the National Intermediate Cup Competition (Tier 3).

Report

The Celtic Rugby Ltd-run Pro 14 Rainbow Cup 2021 was scheduled to include four South African Provinces in their absence at the Pro 14 League due to COVID-19 Coronavirus Pandemic Restrictions. It kicked off on the Weekend of the 23rd to 25th April minus those four provinces.

Round 1 23-24 April 2021

Connacht, Munster, Dragons, Ospreys and Benetton all picked up bonus points wins in the opening round of the Rainbow Cup. Ulster picked up both a Try Bonus and a Losing Bonus in their 24-26 loss to Connacht, while Munster trounced Leinster 27-3. In Wales, Dragons defeated Scarlets 52-32 in the highest-scoring encounter of the weekend, while Ospreys defeated Cardiff Blues 36-14. In the Scottish-Italian matches, Benetton were surprisingly big winners over Glasgow Warriors, 46-19, while Edinburgh were made to work against Zebre, prevailing 24-18 in the end.

Round 2 7-9 May 2021

Benetton and Munster were the only two undefeated teams after Round 2 of the Guinness Pro 14 Rainbow Cup in 2021 after wins over Zebre (25-20) and Ulster (38-10). Climbing into first place in the Welsh part of the draw were Dragons with a huge 52-32 win over Cardiff Blues although all four teams in Wales were on 1 win and 1 loss following Ospreys victory at home to Scarlets. Dragons however had two bonus points. Rounding out the matches were Glasgow Warriors 29-19 versus Edinburgh and a big Leinster win at Connacht (50-21) as the West Ireland Province felt the backlash of the previous weeks loss to Munster where Leinster only scored three points.

Report

Alessio Abibi’s heroics in goal during the Penalty Shootout gained Dundalk the 2021 FAI President’s Cup after he saved two penalties in their 4-3 penalty shootout victory over Shamrock Rovers. The 10-men Lilywhites went ahead after 42 minutes of the traditional curtain-raiser to the season between the League and FAI Cup Champions, after Sonny Nattestad put them ahead, heading in a Patrick McEleny cross, only for Liam Scales to equalise for Shamrock Rovers just before half-time. Nattestad turned Villain shortly afterwards when sent off for a reckless challenge, but Rovers could not find a break-through in the 90 minutes before Abibi’s heroics in goal during the penalty shootout which Dundalk won 4-3.

Report

Series 1-5 28 March-26 April 2021

Athlone Town and Shelbourne were the early pacesetters in the SSE Airtricity League First Division in 2021. Athlone had won four of their first five matches and Shelbourne three with both teams undefeated. Also undefeated were UCD and new team from Limerick, Treaty United who had both won two of their five matches. Cabinteely and Cobh Ramblers were in mid-table while still seeking a win were Bray Wanderers, Galway United and Wexford FC, with Wexford still pointless. Cork City had three points from one win and four losses, below Bray (4 draws) and Galway (3 draws).

Series 6 30 April – 1 May 2021

Athlone Town lost their first match of the season, 1-2 at home to Cabinteely, but still held top spot as Shelbourne could only draw 2-2 at home to Treaty United who remained in fourth. UCD leapfrogged Shelbourne into second with a 6-0 win at Wexford FC. Cabinteely kept touch of pace at the top with that win at Athlone while Galway United’s 4-0 win away to Cobh Ramblers saw them jump two places into sixth. Cobh dropped down below both Galway and Bray Wanderers following that defeat and Bray’s 0-0 draw at home to Cork City. Wexford FC remained pointless at the foot of the table.

Report

The Ardee Vocational School team defeated Bush VS on the last day of the Co. Louth Vocational Schools Volleyball League in 1969-70. having already drawn each other, and with Bush VS having lost in a shock defeat to an ever-improving Dundalk, Ardee had to win the match in order to take the G.E.C. Cup, and they did in four sets, dropping only the third, with Bush no match for the Ardee girls despite being trained by an American. Ardee thus won 7 and drew one of their 8 matches.

Ardee VS Team vs Bush VS (01 May 1970): Mary Breen, Mary Bird, Ann Breen, Marie McCormick, Mary Kelly, Teresa Corbally and Noleen Gosling.

Report

UCD won the Volleyball Association of Ireland National League Premier Men’s in 2015-16 with 28 points from 12 matches, five ahead of nearest challengers Ballymun Patriots Eagles, with third placed DVC Bravo (Dublin Volleyball Club) a further point back. They went 10-2 in wins-losses, their only losses coming in Week 6 to DVC PM and Week 9 to Ballymun Patriots. NUIG Alliance (National University of Ireland Galway) were relegated after finishing with four points from one win and one overtime loss in their 12 matches, their sole victory coming against Tallaght Rockets in the 13th of 16 weeks. That was not enough to prevent them finishing 4 points behind the Rockets. DVC PM and Ballymun Patriots finished mid-table. Aer Lingus Saints and Garda were promoted from Division 1 for the 2016-17 season, while new team Naas Eagles were formed from the successful Schools programme in the Co. Kildare town. They replaced DVC PM and Ballymun Patriots Eagles in the Premier as each club had only one team in the Premier for the 2016-17 season.
