Rural West Hosts First Michael Joseph Invitational Basketball Shootout

The inaugural Michael Joseph Invitational Basketball Shootout brought excitement and athletic energy to St. John’s Rural West this week, showcasing the talent and competitive spirit of young people from across the constituency.

The event welcomed participants ranging from ages 7 to 30, all demonstrating remarkable heart, skill and determination on the court. Organisers noted that the shootout was created to revitalise interest in basketball within the community and to reintroduce regular sporting activity—particularly for children and teens.

The initiative forms part of a broader effort to create positive, engaging spaces for youth development in Rural West. By encouraging sportsmanship, teamwork and healthy recreation, the organisers hope to inspire a renewed passion for basketball and provide meaningful opportunities for young people to thrive.

Community leaders expressed their commitment to maintaining programmes that uplift and empower the constituency’s youth, emphasising that initiatives like this will continue to be a priority.
