Gleneagle Lakers earn long-overdue Waterford win

GLENEAGLE LAKERS dragged themselves up from the bottom of the ESB SuperLeague table with a long overdue 80-67 victory over Waterford Crystal at the INEC in Killarney where the fans were singing the praises of new coach, Mark Scannell, yesterday evening.

The victory was a long time coming. They should have beaten Marian, they might have beaten Demons and they were a point up on Saints with the seconds rolling away at Glasnevin on Saturday night. But it eventually came before the home crowd and afterwards PRO Niall O’Callaghan insisted the team has now turned the corner and promised fans festive fireworks over the holiday period.

The fact they came back from a heartbreaking two point loss to Irish Travel Partner Saits - making the long return journey to the INEC - showed a honest character in a side that might well have been demoralised. It speaks volumes for the spirit rekindled by the experienced Mark Scannell as he set about rebuilding the side.
