Fr Mathews building from floor up ahead of season opener

As statements of intents go, it’s quite a mouthful.

Fr Mathews open basketball’s National League season tomorrow with a tasty Men’s Division One derby against Ballincollig, and within a month the club will debut in the Women’s Superleague. Both fixtures will have the additional bounce of a new stadium for the 16-year old Fr Mathews club at the old Tennis Village on Cork’s Model Farm Road.
