Everyone connected with Meteors Basketball Club is deeply saddened and shocked by
the untimely passing of one of our long-serving members, Eamonn Prenter.
As both a parent and a coach, Eamonn was a tremendous presence within the club and
a passionate advocate for Meteors, as well as for women’s basketball in general. His
dedication and enthusiasm left a lasting impression on all who had the privilege of
knowing and working with him.
Eamonn coached during the 2022–23 and 2023–24 seasons, where he played a pivotal
role in developing many of our players, instilling in them not only his exceptional
knowledge of the game, but also his unwavering commitment and passion for
basketball. A particular highlight of his time as a coach was leading the team to
Lanzarote, providing players with the invaluable opportunity to compete against local
teams and experience international basketball.
His three daughters have been a constant and valued presence within the club over
many years, proudly representing Meteors at every age group, including at Super League
level, a testament to the family’s deep connection to the club.
Eamonn was a great friend and confidant to many, always generous with his time,
advice, and his encyclopaedic knowledge of basketball.
Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife, Ailsa; his daughters, Grace, Isabelle, and
Alexandra; his son, Nicholas; and his extended family and friends at this profoundly
difficult time.
