Five players from each of the four divisions in the Basketball Ireland National League have been awarded All Star awards this week for the 2016/17 season, with the Player of the Year for each Division also revealed. The second and third teams in each League have also been announced.
The All Stars were selected from the votes of the National League coaches who voted for the players every month from the start of the season until the end of March.
“We’re delighted to honour the very best of our leagues for the 2016-17 season,” said Women’s National League Commissioner Matthew Hall.
“The All Stars were brought back in 2015 and have proven to be very popular since then. This year’s awards recognize the best and most consistent players in Ireland.”
