Conor Dufficy: The Moate 15-year-old has been selected for the Irish Under-23 Wheelchair Basketball team. "They were looking for people with disabilities that play sport, and I fit the description, so I sent in an application," he explained. A resident of Cois Na hAbhainn, Moate, Conor has a younger sister, Holly, who also attends Moate CS. Conor said he really enjoyed the experience of meeting up with the Irish under-23 wheelchair basketball squad for training recently. When asked what sports person he admires the most, he mentions the wheelchair basketball player generally regarded as the best in the world: Canada's Patrick Anderson.
