Our men’s basketball team put up an admirable effort, winning two games and losing 1, but unfortunately this was not enough to put us through to the Semi-Finals. Our Bowling Team and Tennis, also failed to reach the semi-finals, but all put in an excellent effort. Congrats to Bernie Keegan who got a medal for winning 7th place in the Billiard Team.
