Grennell clan still cornerstones of Killester's unique double drive

It's a big weekend one of Irish basketball’s great families. A Hall of Fame place for the legend formerly known as Breda Grennell. Her son Paul Dick and niece Michelle Clarke play in the Superleague Cup finals and nephews Johnathon and Mark will coach them. All for her beloved Killester.

Back when they were kids, Paul Dick would come down from Belfast and go to basketball camps with his cousin Michelle Clarke in her hometown of Dublin, the pair of them as thick as thieves.

How tight and mischievous were they? “We’d give our names as Michelle Grennell and Paul Grennell,” grins Michelle. “That’s what we’d go by for the week. We’d ditch our own surnames.”
