Face guarding someone who has pace cant work. Especially when you have no idea where the ball is. Not the defenders fault, but he's set up to fail.
This is a class view of the Clifford point before half time via @eammagu #GAA
Donegal playing the equivalent of a box and one and it’s being torn apart. Almost impossible to play that defense against a team who can shoot from the outside for 2. They’ve still given Clifford 0-7 and the zone has gaps everywhere because they can’t sit there.
BI need to partner with Tom Duffy’s circus. A 3x3 court would fit perfectly and the seating is here already 💡

Great to see. Very few sponsors have ever tried to activate their partnerships with BI. Well done JYSK.
Every fan attending today’s JYSK Summer Series will have a surprise waiting at their seat 👀 #GreenMeansGo ☘️ | #IrishBasketball
Really interested to see Max Amadasun make his debut tonight. He could be a big addition to the team over the next couple of years.
Squad numbers are official for today’s matchup with Norway 🇳🇴 Watch the JYSK Summer Series live on the @SportTG4 player from 16:00 📺 #GreenMeansGo ☘️ | #IrishBasketball
TG4 deserve a lot of credit for the volume of international games they cover. The rise in coverage over the past 4 years has been great. We still need more domestic games but there has been significant progress.

Incredible achievement for Niamh Dwyer and the 3x3 girls. Two wins in the group and through to the European Youth Olympic Festival quarter finals.
What a game! The 3x3 Basketball team had a brilliant high energy group stage game against Netherlands and came away with a win for Team Ireland! 🇮🇪 11-10 🇳🇱 #TeamIreland #EYOF2025 #Skopje2025
Revolut have launched new co-branded cards with the NBA, that you can order through the app. I got one this morning thanks to the Revolut team. Very cool.

Great achievement.
7th place secured in the FIBA U20 EuroBasket 💚 #GreenMeansGo ☘️ || #IrishBasketball
CJ had his best performance of Summer League last night but still faces elite competition to continue his journey in the NBA. @ExaminerSport irishexaminer.com/sport/otherspo…
Great to watch @cj_fulton5 making it look easy at @NBASummerLeague
Pretty cool to be here seeing Ireland's CJ Fulton doing CJ Fulton things on the @NBASummerLeague stage.
Timberwoives finish Summer League 4-1 after losing to the Rockets tonight. CJ finishing with 2 points, 2 assists, 2 steals and 3 turnovers. Summer League is over, next up for CJ is waiting to see if he'll get a Training Camp invite from the Timberwolves.
Solid first half by CJ playing just over 8 minutes. He's +5 overall with 2 points, 2 steals and 2 assists. He does have 2 turnovers, 1 was a bad pass while the other was just an unfortunate deflection.
CJ checks in early and scores in transition on his first play.
The main players from the Timberwolves first 4 summer league games are out for tonight’s game. Should hopefully mean good minutes for CJ. Will likely be a sloppy game though with a lot of players getting their first meaningful time and needing to make an impression.
Today's @Timberwolves Summer League starters against Houston: Newton Bailey Cain Eastern Edwards OUT Beringer - Rest Clark - Rest Dillingham - Rest Miller - Rest Shannon Jr. - Rest
CJ Fulton made history for Irish basketball last Wednesday but it’s likely just the beginning of his NBA story. Read how the third generation basketball star opened doors for Ireland and himself below: #WolvesBack zonecoverage.com/2025/timberwol…
Great to have an Irish coach in Euro Cup Qualifiers.
🔔 We’re in — Anorthosis Famagusta is seeded in the FIBA Europe Cup Qualifiers. Draw in Munich on July 23. As coach, I’m ready for the challenge! #FIBAEuropeCup #CoachingInEurope
