Yesterday the team traveled to Carlow IT to play against the local team. Things started off badly as DKITs coach was held up due to unforeseen circumstances and coaching duties were passed to one of the players.
The team started off positively taking an early lead and at the end of the 1st quarter both teams were level at 18 points all. 2nd quarter was more tit for tat with excellent displays from Kevin Lacey, Big John, Eugeneo Sam and Neo. Dundalk went in to the half time down only by a point. Confidence was high in the dressing room at half time and Dundalk took the court again.
Things started to go a bit wrong as fatigue started to set in. Good work in the third quarter from Mason, Richie Ojo and Matthias kept the deficit at the end of the 3rd quarter to 8 points. At the beginning of the fourth quarter it became clear that Carlow wanted it more as the shots they had been threatening the entire game started to go in. As their lead increased the Dundalk heads went down and the Carlow IT came out deserved winners.
Overall though, it was Dundalk heads going that ultimately cost the game. The game was their to be one but slowly the self belief went out the window.
I don't think Carlow won the game, I think it was more a case that DKIT lost the game. That is something we can't allow to happen again.

So lets get you up to speed then
First of all apologies. Due to my schedule I havn't been able to keep this as up to date as I'd have liked but hopefully that will change.
We have had two league games and one friendly so far since the begining of the year and to be honest things haven't been going well.
The team lost the first game to Tallaght IT by 40 points and to RCSI by 25. We also had a friendly against another local team which we lost by 30.
However things are slowly but surely looking up. The team are starting to play like a team and we have three or four key players that have been getting better and better as the training has gone on. There have also been a number of players that had been on the sidelines for a year or so and are coming good. The new coach has made a few mistakes but thankfully is learning quickly from them.All and all as I've said we're getting there but time will tell.
Our next game is against carlow IT on wedsday and we will be able to see how things are looking then and I will give a full report on thursday morning.
