The Rosmini College Senior Premier Basketball team is coached by Matt Lacey with Sonny Tuaputa the Assistant Coach and Greg Barclay the Manager. Rosmini College's Teacher in Charge of Basketball, Ambrose Samuels says: "It has been a great season and the boys, coaches and management have all put in a lot of work to yield success. With a group like this, with not only talent but humility, it has been a real pleasure to watch them progress and take out the National title. With a young core of players, things are also looking bright for the next few years as we strive to develop the Rosmini Basketball programme even further, including the retention of Mathew Lacey who has been amazing."
