Titans Boys headed to Dublin to play their first tournament East of The Shannon.The welcome from their hosts was second to none and the standard of basketball did not disappoint.Coach Brendan Barile gave all the lads good minutes , while he came to terms with his first experience of underage regulations and Titan Expectations.

In the opening game aginst the nationally acclaimed Dublin Lions the Titans displayed a great range of skills, with Cian Mc Cann playing well both ends of the court;Aaron pulling down the boards and Luke threatening the basket from any and every position.There was a good defensive display from Eoin o Gorman,Shane Killelea and Sean Murphy, with Eoin, Shane Conroy and Tim Keogh finishing off some nice moves with crisp layups.Young Joseph Coughlan had a balanced display of stealing on Dee, going for the lay ups and an occassional shot from fieldgoal range.However the most memorable performance was from Titan favourite Matthew Sweeney who hit a nice bank shot anjd a memorable buzzer beater to cap a memorable win against the Dubs Titans 28 Dublin Lions 19.

In their next game Titans played with equal teanacity,turning defence into offence and they qualified for the final against the hosts Killester Kubs.Once again, the Titans gave it socks, the coach got everyone in, and with the boys all enjoying their Basketball the Titans, despite having led for most of the game,  Lost out in the end by two points in an absolute Thriller!!
