Kieran Donaghy and Tralee return to top table

Premier League basketball will return to Kerry later this year, with Basketball Ireland confirming four new franchises for the national leagues, including Tralee Town BC.

It’s the first time since 2009 that traditional hoops hotbed Tralee will host a National League team. Tralee Town is a collaboration between Tralee Imperials and last season’s National Intermediate Cup champions, St Brendan’s.

Kieran Donaghy was MVP in the final in January and Tralee Town BC chairman John Dowling has confirmed that the three-time GAA All Star will be on the roster for their maiden season.
