Deadly Demons maul Tigers in their lair

UCC DEMONS bounced back from their shock cup defeat with a spectacular 127 to 96 victory over Abrakebabra Tigers in Saturday’s thrilling NIVEA for MEN SuperLeague clash in Tralee.

Though not claiming it as an excuse for the loss, Tigers' coach, Joe Quirke, admitted he was puzzled at the decision to dismiss American Eric Bush for two "unsportsmanlike" fouls after four minutes.

"I had to question it. I just did not understand it. I am not disputing the fact that he stopped a player going to the basket but I don't think it warranted dismissing him. It is a new rule and I had to look for an explanation."
