Leixlip Amenities become Team Supporter of Ireland U20 WNT for FIBA Youth EuroBasket

Basketball Ireland is pleased to announce that Leixlip Amenities is becoming a Team Supporter of the Ireland U20 women for the upcoming FIBA Youth EuroBasket tournament in August.

Ireland will face Ukraine and Great Britain in the group phase as they look to progress to the quarter-finals for the second year in succession.
