We are incredibly proud of every single player who represented our club and Ireland with passion, determination, teamwork and fantastic sportsmanship from start to finish. You did yourselves, your families and Kilkenny Stars proud.

A huge thank you to our amazing committee. Without your hard work behind the scenes, opportunities like this simply wouldn't happen. Thank you also to our fantastic coaches for their time, commitment and guidance, and to all of our wonderful parents for the endless support, encouragement and kilometres travelled every step of the way!

A special thank you to Nolan's Jewellers and Pat Carroll's Pub for sponsoring our teams. Your support helped make this incredible experience possible. 🙏

We also want to say a massive thank you to everyone who supported our fundraising efforts throughout 2026. Whether you bought raffle tickets, attended events, donated, or simply cheered us on, you played a part in making this trip a reality. We couldn't have done it without you.

The best news? This is just the beginning! 🎉

From now on, the Euro Youth Basketball Cup will become an annual trip for our U14 Girls and Boys teams, giving more young players the chance to create memories like these for years to come.

To our 2027 U14 Girls and Boys—it's your turn next! We wish you every success with your fundraising over the coming months. Get behind the events, enjoy the journey and know that an incredible experience awaits you. We can't wait to follow your adventure next year!
