Host of Cork basketball players included in All-Star teams

A total of 14 Leesiders and basketballers playing with Cork clubs have been selected in the Basketball Ireland All-Star teams

There were three teams picked for each of the four competitions, with UCC Demons high-scoring American MJ Randolph making the Men's Super League 1st team, gifted point guard Edel Thornton (Brunell) and Glanmire top-scorer Brittany Byrd in the Women's Super League best five, and former Neptune and current Ulster University ace Conor O'Sullivan in the Division 1 selection.

Northsider Jordan Blount (Neptune) and Ballincollig's Spanish forward Jose Jimenez are in the Super League 2nd team with John Dawson and Demons' Kyle Hosford in the 3rd team.

Glanmire's Claire O'Sullivan (2nd team), Aine McKenna and Khiarica Rasheed (both 3rd) along with Fr Mathew's Grainne Dwyer (3rd team) have also been recognised. Mark Scannell's Glanmire recovered from the disappointment of a National Cup exit to dominate in the league.

Fr Mathew's had a solid campaign in Division 1 with Diego O'Herlihy and Jonathan Garcia in the 3rd team for their consistency and they'll be hoping next season to push on and join the other three Cork clubs at the top level.
