Gifted Rachael Vanderwal was one of the greatest imports in Irish basketball

In that time Rachael won every honour in the game, back-to-back league and cup titles with Donoughmore. She also won multiple league and cup titles with UL, before she moved on to play in the top leagues in Spain and Belgium.

“Then when I was with UL the level was higher, and we had some great athletes such as Louise Galvin, Aoife McDermott and of course the legend Michelle Fahy.

Before Rachael came back to play for Donoughmore for her second season, she got her British passport so she could play as a European player.

“We have some very talented players and hopefully we can be successful."
