Connolly visited cross-community basketball team the PeacePlayers at Queen's University Maxwells/Sinn Féin
The Daily Poll
Are you a sporty person?
President Catherine Connolly showed off her basketball skills in Belfast yesterday.
PRESIDENT CATHERINE CONNOLLY made headlines during October’s election campaign for her keepie-uppie skills, but it turns out football isn’t her only talent.
During her first official visit to Northern Ireland this week, Connolly stopped by Queen’s University Belfast and joined the cross-community basketball team, the PeacePlayers, on the court.
She landed two shots (one of which was backwards), which earned big cheers from spectators and of course, has sparked another viral online moment.
With Ireland’s 10th President proving she’s got a flair for sport, we want to ask: Are you a sporty person?
