C&S Blue Demons Coach Tim O Halloran On Last Saturdays First Game

“We got under way this weekend with a very difficult trip away to Kilkenny. The lads have put in a huge effort over the last 8 weeks in training and were really looking forward to this game. We travelled up with 12 players and every one of them played a huge part in a 83-74 victory. As it was our first competitive game as a unit I was really pleased the way the lads went about their business. This year we have a few of last year’s team with a few new addition’s, we are playing a totally different type off basketball, there is no one guaranteed playing time and there is no one going to be playing 30 minutes, but when you’re in I expect 100% and thats what I got Saturday night, If we keep that up and keep training like we are we will have an exciting year”

On The Season Ahead

“I am really looking forward to the coming season where  i get the great opportunity to coach the regional league team.Last year was a very good year for me as assistant to Colin where i learned an awful lot from him.This season i will be taking a lot from what i learned off Colin and with my own views on how i want us to play put them into practice from the start.I have also asked Brian Foley to assist me for the year and with his knowledge i will be listening to everything he has to say.We will have a panel of around 14 players and going trough the names i am exited about working with them as the are a great bunch of lads and most importantly I hope we can compete for all competitions”
