Ellis’ parting shot for Gleneagle Lakers

CLYDE ELLIS will, after all, be available to Gleneagle Lakers when they play MDS Star in the first round of the men’s National Cup in Belfast on Saturday.

The big American was due to fly home to the US this week - parting with the Killarney club for personal reasons - but has agreed to remain on until Monday. And this was music to the ears of coach Mark Scannell, who will be looking for the performance of the season from Lakers:

“Let’s face it, this is the only chance we have of salvaging our season,” said the Corkman who last season transformed Lakers.
