Girls:
The Girls lost their first game to a very strong NUIG Team. A superd performance against UCC was hindered when UCC hit five threes in the first Quarter the girls never recovered and UCC went on to win. In a disappointing playe semi final the girls lost to UUJ. Helga Simmonson and Nora Keane were the girls top scorers for the weekend. UL went on to win the Womens competition with Derbela Breen being named womens MVP.
Guys:
The guys lost by 16 to Queens in their first game with an excellent second half performance. Then lost to UL in the seocand game in an unsporting encounter where UL pressed a NUIM team of 5 players for the whole game. Fulty was unavailable for the plate semi final due to a soccer game so Alan O' Kelly and Mark Dempsey took the reins for the game. The guys were extremely impressive and ran out winners by 20 points. The guys faced Magee in the plate final after a close game the guys found themselfs 6 points down with 30 secs to play. Two three pointers brought the guys right back into the game but a foul with 0.9 left gave Magee two free throws which sealed the game for them. Brian O'Malley and Ciaran Bowe were the guys top scorers for the weekend. UCD won the cup with Queens Benny Sanchez winning MVP for a superb final performance.

After all the excitment of the TCD Intervarsities the captiains sat down before the banquet and the decisions were made for next years varsities. The varsities are going to be hosted by the Univarsity of Ulster Colraine.

The women have Queens and current champions UL. The guys have UL and UCC, who won the varsities three consecutive times before being knocked out in this years Quarter Finals (by UL).
