Griffith College Basketball Scholar Named In Irish Basketball Team

Griffith College Eanna's James Gormley

We are delighted to share that Griffith College Basketball Scholar James Gormley has been named in the extended Ireland panel for the upcoming FIBA EuroBasket 2029 Pre-Qualifiers games against Azerbaijan and Luxembourg.

James missed both November FIBA EuroBasket games against Luxembourg and North Macedonia due to injury, with his return bringing a welcome boost to Ireland head coach Michael Bree.

James, who is currently second year studying the BA (Hons) in Business, said, "It is always a privilege to be named in the squad to represent my country alongside some of the best players in the country!"

The matches, which take place on Friday, 27 February and Monday, 2 March, will be played in the National Basketball Arena.

Everyone at Griffith College wishes James and the rest of the team the very best of luck!
