Killarney

<h3> St Paul&#8217;s Basketball club recognised the contribution of its ladies&#8217; players during their National Basketball League home game on Saturday night.</h3>
 Since the start of the season, coach James Fleming has named his Most Valuable Player (MVP) after each home game.
 The club presented each MVP award winner with a special trophy at halftime during the club&rsquo;s tie with Dublin side Swords Thunder at Killarney Sports and Leisure Centre on Saturday.
 Lynn Jones, who is one of the sport&rsquo;s longest servants in Kerry, picked up her award from the Limerick Celtics game earlier in the season.
 Rheanne O&#8217;Shea won the MPV during the Portlaoise Panthers match.
 Yuleska Ramirez Tedja was the MPV against UL Sport Huskies last year.
 Deise Dunlea was the most recent nomination for an MPV award and she also received her award on Saturday night.
 The team also honoured their Irish International player Leah McMahon and presented Leah&rsquo;s mother Anne with flowers as a thank-you for her support to the club.
 &ldquo;The dedication of these ladies is unbelievable, we have eight games in a row coming up, five at home and one each in Belfast, Cavan and Dublin and they are all working or studying,&rdquo; manager Siobhan Bennett told the Killarney Advertiser.
 &ldquo;Coach James Fleming wanted to show his appreciation for this dedication.&rdquo;
