The basketball players from Brentwood Ursuline School made a clean sweep of the Senior basketball cups in Mid-Essex.

The Under 16 squad made it a hat-trick in 1999 by retaining the trophy that they had won in 1997 and 1998.

The Under 15 squad ensured a win-double by securing the title defeating Shenfield School in a thrilling final.

The Ursuline Under 15's now have a date to look forward to -- on April 12 they play in the All Essex Schools Cup Final when they meet Greensward School (Hockley).

Commenting on the success of the Ursuline teams, coach Paul Jeater said: "The squads have trained throughout the year and this commitment to the game has given us a successful year.

"For the second year running we have a team in a County final, which is excellent for the development of the sport at the school."
