Basketball season abandoned

Following advice from both the Irish Sports Council and the Department of Agriculture, the Irish Basketball Association has decided to abandon the 2000/2001 ESB Men's League season due to the continuing foot and mouth crisis.

With no clear date available for resumption, the Association felt clubs could not afford to play their professional players in the meantime.

The season had just three weeks remaining when it was originally suspended on March 1st. The title will not be awarded to any side despite Killester's clear lead.
