Neptune seize chance as Star’s defeat throws the title race open
Victory over Hibernian UCD Marian at home saw them join the Belfast team at the top of the table with the comfort of a game in hand and, more importantly, with fewer matches lost over the long season (4/5).
Many felt the exertions of Friday night, when they won an overtime thriller in Limerick against BurgerKing, would have created leg weariness for Neptune but the fans need not have worried as they came flying out of traps and raced into a 19-7 first-quarter lead with Dave Langrell and Kieran O'Brien to the fore.
