St. Mary's Secondary School, Baldoyle has landed a sponsorship deal
with the Dublin Airport Authority (DAA) for all their successful
Basketball Teams.

The sponsorship was organised by PE Teacher, Robert Fennell with Maura
Cassidy, Manager Community Affairs from the DAA.

Basketball is a very popular sport in St. Mary's and one in which they
have enjoyed great success over the years. Winning the SSA Under 16
Division 2 Championships in 2009 and were runners up in the SSA Under
16 Division One Championship, both finals being held in the National
Basketball Arena in Tallaght. St. Mary's has won the Under 16
Division titles on 6 previous occasions from 2002 to 2007. The Under
19 Senior 1 team have been SSA Basketball Finalists in 2004, 2007 and
2008. A great achievement for a small school like St. Mary's.

Maura Cassidy recently made the presentation of the newly sponsored
sports kit to Ms. Siobhan O' Connell, Principal. Hopefully, this will
be the start of a very fruitful partnership. Ms O' Connell thanked
the DAA for their generous sponsorship while Ms. Cassidy wished St.
Mary's the best of luck in their future matches.
