Maree’s Super
League men’s team lost out to a title chasing Garvey’s Tralee Warriors side in
Kerry on Saturday evening, 88-70. In a game that Tralee needed to win in order
to keep their title dreams alive, they knocked the visitors out of their rhythm
early on, with superb displays from Paul Dick and Eoin Quigley. Maree had some
great patches thanks to 27 points from Sean Sellers, but the hosts ran out 18
point winners in a dominant display in the end.
Moycullen also
suffered defeat in the Men’s Super League as they fell victim to great team
play from Belfast Star, losing out 82-91 in Galway. Belfast Star returned to
winning ways thanks to 32 points from the hugely talented Mike Davis. Moycullen
find themselves in a tough position at the bottom of the Men’s Super League and
will welcome UCD Marian to the Kingfisher in a fortnight, in what is a must-win
clash.
NUIG Mystics
suffered yet another defeat in the Women’s Super League as they lost out to
Marble City Hawks, 41-59. Mystics never found their groove as they allowed
Hawks to build and maintain an early lead. Ailish O'Reilly top scored for
Mystics with 20 points in a fantastic individual effort, however, Hawks kept
their lead throughout to see out the game.
It was a tough
weekend all round for Galway teams as Gamefootage.net Titans were defeated
92-77 by Fr Mathews in Cork on Saturday. After a promising start to the game,
through help from Tom Rivard, Titans looked to have the pace and intensity to
drive on. Mick McGinn changed Mathew’s fortunes in the second half, however,
and he finished with a whopping 33 points and most importantly, the win for the
Cork side.
