Basketball: C&S UCC Demons continue to set the pace in the Men’s Premier League following a hard earned 88-74 win against Templeogue.

ULSTER ELKS coach, Deirdre Brennan, is confident the students are capable of pulling off another big shock when they face UCD Marian in the semi-final of the Super League National Cup at Neptune Stadium tomorrow afternoon.

MARK KEENAN, coach to 11890 Killester, is hoping his team will return to form for Sunday’s National Cup semi-final against UL Eagles at Neptune Stadium in Cork after two disappointing losses in the lead up to their most important assignment of the season.

UCC DEMONS are next in line to attempt to break 11890 Killester’s stranglehold on the Nivea for Men Superleague, but they will have to do it without the services of Niall O’Reilly when they host the defending champions at The Mardyke Arena on Sunday.

PAUL KELLEHER could hardly have hoped for better after stepping into the role of the head coach with his club, UCC Demons.

SOME old faces will be missing from the scene with the addition of some promising newcomers when the basketball’s Nivea for Men’s SuperLeague gets underway tonight.

The Nivea For Men SuperLeague and Women’s SuperLeague Championships will take a break this weekend and will make way for the National Cup competitions.
