Excitement is building in Rathmore as the local basketball club prepares for a spectacular night of song, dance and entertainment next Friday, March 13.

Rathmore Ravens Basketball Club is organising a lip-sync event, Lights, Lyrics, Layups, which promises to be an uplifting, vibrant night of singing and dancing, sure to get everyone on their feet.

The event is taking place at the Heights Hotel, with doors opening at 6.30pm and the show starting at 7.30pm.

Eleven acts, comprising 114 club members, will take to the stage on the night under the expert choreography of Joe Burkett.

Children will present the acts, while ushers will accompany performers on and off the stage.

Audience members will also have the chance to vote for their favourite performance, and the best homemade poster will be chosen on the night.

Founded in 2009, Rathmore Ravens Basketball Club has gone from strength to strength each year.

It has been a milestone year for the club, with their largest ever number of juvenile and senior players competing at county and Basketball Ireland Academy level, and their first ever u20 men's team in the National League.

The fundraising event is being supported by many sponsors in Rathmore and beyond, and the club has expressed gratitude for the support it has received.

The basketball club has a very strong social media presence, and all act reveals are being posted on their Facebook page. Rathmore Ravens is promising a fun, feel-good Friday night full of glamour and sparkle.

If you’re looing for a good night out next weekend, look no further than Lights, Lyrics, Layups.
