Huge congratulations to our 2026 John Kennedy Memorial Tournament winners 🙌

The final game of the day did not disappoint with Drogheda clawing back a 14 point deficit to take the tournament win.

Well done to the boys and their coaches for a brilliant display of basketball and determination right to the final whistle.

Yesterday was an opportunity for teams to come together, play great basketball, and support an important cause all in memory of John Kennedy 🌟

This tournament honours John Kennedy, a core member of St Gall’s Basketball Club and Naomh Gall CLG, a player and coach who loved to give back to the community.

John sadly passed away due to a heart attack over 30 years ago during a match in Andersonstown Leisure Centre, and his son Simon has kept his memory alive through a now annual youth basketball event, which raised ÂŁ3,400 last year for NI Chest Heart & Stroke.

This year’s tournament once again supports NICHS, with thanks to sponsors Kennedy Business Finance, People Playbook, Used Cars NI and Carson McDowell.

We’re looking forward to catching up and watching some great basketball with everyone at Newforge tomorrow. 🏀
