Five new teams will enter the MissQuote.ie Division 1 for the 2022/23 season. Kerry’s St. Paul’s Killarney and Virginia-based McEvoy’s Cavan Eagles will be joined by three new entrants from Dublin - Oblate Basketball Club, McGowan’s Tolka Rovers and Abbey Seals Dublin Lions. Two teams are playing women’s National League level for the first time, Abbey Seals Dublin Lions and McEvoy’s Cavan Eagles.
East Cavan Eagles were established just 10 years ago and chairman Graham Tolan is delighted to see McEvoy’s Cavan Eagles making the step up to MissQuote.ie Division 1.
Our acceptance into the women’s National League is the culmination of ten years work, which has seen our club grow from humble beginnings, to now having 350 members and 22 teams. Eagles is all about our members and our community and we are thrilled that we will be the first ladies team to enter the National League from the north east region. We are looking forward to welcoming two players from America, to supplement our home grown talent and we are really excited about playing on our new Olympic standard floor at Virginia Show Centre.
McEvoy’s Cavan Eagles will have two current Irish underage internationals in their squad, U16 international Emma Tolan and U18 international Niamh Tolan. Their sister, Ciara Tolan, was also part of the Irish U18 squad in 2019.
