Sandymount Hotel has been sponsoring UCD Marian Basketball Club for a number of years and hosts a visiting player each season. Donnie Stith, this season's visiting player, very kindly took time out from training to pose for a few snaps at Sandymount Hotel.
"Donnie is from Virginia Beach, Virginia and after graduating from High School he earned a scholarship to Tulane University in New Orleans. Tulane play in Conference USA, one of the top basketball conferences in America. After completing his studies in Tulane, Donnie was signed by a team in the Austrian League. After a two year stay there he went to play in professional basketball in Malaysia. The 6”8 Stith should give Marian a great low post presence for the season. In his first game, a pre-season game against American School Stony Brook, he scored 16pts, had 12 rebounds but also had 6 blocks."
