THROWBACK TUESDAY

On the eve of another international basketball matchup in Killarney, we take a trip back to 2010, when we welcomed St. Ambrose University The Fighting Bees from Iowa, USA, to the Presentation Gym.

The Bees were on their first visit to Killarney, and were part of a memorable night of basketball, as we took on the American visitors in front of a great local crowd.

Fast forwarding to today, and the tradition continues.
