Report

US Navy of Derry won the 1966 Lota Basketball Tournament, defeating hosts Neptune 36-31 in the Final. Teams had travelled from as far as Newport in wales for the Tournament, although holders, Collegians, from Belfast, could not travel on the day, and were replaced in Pool 4 by De Paul.

Tannery from Tralee and Iona from Cork, were the other Pool winners, and were beaten in the Semi-Finals 31-39 by US Navy and 16-29 by Neptune respectively.

Final Scorers:

US Navy: J Yeutter (14), C Pattison (10), B Allard (8), M Brown (4).

While they never won the Men’s Super League title they were the Cup specialists winning the Men’s National Cup four years in succession from 1996-97 to 1999-2000 defeating St Vincent’s 80-75 in 1996-97, Neptune 79-73 in 1997-98, Blue demons 82-61 in 1998-99 and then St. vincent’s again 69-67 in 1999-2000, while also winning the League Playoffs that year, doing the double over St. Vincent’s with a 93-74 victory.

in 2003 the Men’s Team was split from the Underage Teams, which continued to play in the Dublin Leagues, as the Team was taken over by Shamrock Rovers Football Club, which had aimed at the time to become more like a European multi-sports club. The team was renamed Shamrock Rovers HOOPS for the 2003-04 season.
