U13 EYBL

This year, our U13 NABA players made their debut in the EYBL, achieving a 3-7 record. Under the mentorship of coach Audrius Jonusas, a former Lithuanian national team player, they excelled locally in Dublin and rose to the challenge of competing with top European teams. Despite tough games against opponents from Latvia, Estonia, and upcoming matches with Poland and Lithuania’s top teams like Zalgiris and Vilnius, #10 Simonas Jonusas, coach Audrius’s son, stood out, leading the scoring board with an average of 22.5 points per game. Simonas’s stellar performances earned him a spot in the Allstar 5 team in Tallinn, Estonia. Already gearing up for the next stage in Vilnius in March, these young talents demonstrate a commendable commitment and promising potential in their basketball journey.

U15 EYBL

The NABA U15 Eybl squad has faced a challenging season, providing valuable learning experiences. Competing against top-tier teams and basketball academies from various countries such as Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Finland, France, and Denmark, the team is now gearing up for matches against high-level opponents from Poland, Iceland, and Latvia in the next stage. Comprising three different groups, NABA Lanzarote (2), NABA Dublin (5), and the partnered club Łódź LKS/KM in Poland (4), the squad’s coach Carles Orive expresses satisfaction with the players’ progress, highlighting their resilience in this competitive age category. Despite some absent key players due to personal circumstances, the team remains determined to make the most of their experience in the European Youth Basketball League U15 North conference, building on last year’s 9th place achievement in the playoffs.

U16 EYBL

The U16 NABA EYBL squad faced formidable challenges this season, competing against skilled teams from Latvia, Germany, Ukraine, Lithuania, Denmark, and England, resulting in a current 4-6 record. Despite close losses to top-tier opponents in the first stage, the experience served as a significant learning curve for the majority of the players, many of whom were competing at this level for the first time. While the second stage in Riga, Latvia, started with a difficult day, the team rallied to secure impressive wins against Latvian Basketball schools, BS Riga and BS Ridzene, displaying their determination and growth. Despite a close game with BS Ogre, the Latvian team’s formidable skills led them to victory in the second half, marking a tough defeat for NABA. However, the squad celebrated individual successes, with Matiss Ogle earning an All-Star 5 award and Cristi Onos being recognized as the team’s most valuable player, consistently delivering a strong double-double performance. Comprising players from NABA Dublin (9), NABA Lanzarote (2), and the partnered club Łódź LKS/KM in Poland (3), this diverse team continues to demonstrate resilience and commitment in the U16 category of the European Youth Basketball League.
