LIMERICK’S Crescent College Comprehensive won a nail-biting All Ireland basketball title this Thursday afternoon.
The city secondary school were crowned Irish U-19 B Senior Boys League Champions with a 42-41 victory over St Mary's Diocesan College of Drogheda.
The dramatic win in Dublin’s National Basketball Arena in Tallaght was secured with a final second basket from the Tony Hehir coached side.
