About Éanna

Éanna Basketball was set up as a Division 2 team from players from Colaiste Éanna and Notre Dame in the 2005/2006 season. In a short period of time, the team was promoted to Division One in the Dublin Mens Senior league and subsequently added a second senior team. An important milestone in the short history of the club took place in 2009 when Notre Dame underage amalgamated with Éanna Basketball Club.

With a catchment area of South Dublin and Dun Laoghaire Rathdown, Notre Dame had a long history of success at Underage and a club that can legitimately claim to be the most successful junior team in the 1990s and any single decade. Following the expansion of the club, the Division One team saw continued success and went on to win a number of competitions and tournaments including the triple of League, Cup, and Final four in the Dublin league under then senior team Coach Ciaran Mac Evilly.

Following the retirement of Gerry O'Brien, the club entered into a time of transition and potential struggles with the loss of an outstanding coach and servant to Irish Basketball.

Vision of Club in 2012

Following a meeting in March 2012 with parents, players and committee members, the entire club membership agreed on the following three primary objectives. While the club pathway is reviewed periodically, the club retains the same vision and ethos of fun, fair and competitive opportunities.

• To ensure the future of Éanna Basketball club
• To develop a more consistent level of coaching throughout the club
• To establish clearer pathways for players to progress through

“Look at various options to develop a National League Team with a view to ultimately becoming a Premier League team”.

The club are delighted to announce the acceptance by Basketball Ireland Men's National Competitions Committee of Éanna Basketball Club to compete in the Premier League for the forthcoming season 2015/2016.
