Home of one of the country’s top basketball sides destroyed by heavy snow fall

"The blessing was that there was no one in the hall"

Tralee - who have former Kerry footballer Kieran Donaghy on the roster - are currently third in the Super League.

The Regional Sports and Leisure Complex is also home to the club's Under 20s, ladies, and development teams.

Chairperson Terry O'Brien told RTÉ Sport:

The club are now trying to find alternative venues for their remaining three Super League home games, while O'Brien is wary that they may have find an alternative for next season as well.

He added: "There is a very good basketball fraternity here in Kerry.

"We've had offers from Killarney, our friends in Castleisland. They would have fairly good home venues.

"The only saving grace is we have a few weeks before our next home game. So we would hope to have something established within the next maybe week or so. But it's a huge knock back for us altogether.

"This is definitely the season finished and I'd say we're looking at even next season.

"We know how things work. They don't move that fast when it comes to insurance and assessors and what's got to be done and what's got to be changed.

"I would imagine looking at it, this has got to be a totally new hall built from scratch.

"So it's definitely a long-term project for both Tralee Sports Centre and for us as Garvey's Warriors Basketball Club."
