Basketball Ireland make strong case for safe return to action

Basketball Ireland has issued a detailed step-by-step return-to-play proposal to government which envisages a truncated competitive season at both national league and local level run off between March and May.

The sport suffered a considerable setback two weeks ago upon learning that even with the country moving from Level 5 to 3 there would be no change in the restrictions for indoor sport, prompting basketball to cancel its national leagues for the season.
