Kieran has just celebrated his 21^st birthday and what a celebration it was. Turning 21 and being selected to represent New South Wales in Basketball at the Special Olympics IX National Games in Adelaide from 19-24 April 2010 sealed 2009 as a very important year for Kieran.

The Special Olympics Basketball program began over 15 years ago. Kieran has been part of this program for the past six years. He is the Power Forward on the team, he is a bit bigger and stronger than the other players and able to use his size to full advantage for defence and rebounding. Although Kieran’s primary job on the team is not to score baskets he has been known to score a few 3 pointers in a match. He is unselfish with the ball and always the first to congratulate his fellow team mates and opposition when they score.

Kieran’s selection on the NSW C Grade Basketball Team is well deserved. He is a consistent team player, and a great role model who loves the sport of basketball.
