Club chairman Eamon Egan said it is the right call to make

St Brendans Tralee and KDYS Killorglin in action at the the 49th annual St. Mary's Basketball blitz in 2018. The event has been 'temporarily postponed' this year

The organisers of Castleisland’s famed annual basketball blitz have admitted that cancelling this year’s five-day event would be “huge loss to local families and everyone in the basketball community.” 

St Mary’s BC celebrated its golden jubilee blitz last Christmas and was preparing for No 51 before announcing Friday that the event “will be temporarily postponed.”
