DART KILLESTER let things slip literally in double overtime on Saturday night as they forfeited a very tight encounter with Neptune in basketball’s Men’s Superleague.

DEFENDING champions, Mardyke UCC Demons, have drawn giant killers Team Merry Monk Ballina in the first of the ESB National Cup semi-finals and yesterday Ballina secretary Eamonn Kennedy warned their performance against Dart Killester at the weekend was no flash in the pan.

FOLLOWING their demolition of Horan’s Health Foods Tigers in Tralee on Saturday night nobody wanted to draw Neptune in the quarter-finals of the ESB National Cup, but Waterford Crystal drew the short straw and must travel to Cork on the weekend of January 3-4.
