History

Basketball first introduced to the boys of St. Vincent’s School C.B.S, Glasnevin in 1958 when Bro. O’Farrell erected a set of baskets in the school yard. First coach was Brendan Buckley who after two years returned to his native Tralee.

In September 1961 Bill Casey took over when Brendan has finished and with full co-operation from Brother Burke, the school Principle, the first successful St. Vincent’s team was produced in the Under 14 Grade League. On this initial success the present large and expending club was formed. The club first registered with the ABBA in September 1962 and it’s success comes directly as a result to the efforts made by individual players to coach the boys at the school over the previous 20 years.
