Vincent’s title deciders
Despite being without star player Kevin Foley who injured an ankle last weekend against UCD, Vincent’s coach Joey Boylan is positive about a home victory, saying: “Neptune have it all to play for this weekend but we will be looking to finish on a winning note. They will expect no favours and will need to be on top of their game to beat us.”
Neptune came within a game of the title, following their 96-83 victory over Waterford Crystal on Wednesday night and are within days of regaining the trophy, last held in 2000. Neptune’s Kieran O’Brien played well for inter-varsity champions UCC last weekend.
Gordon Fitzgerald’s availability has been confirmed for this crunch game.
Hibernian UCD Marian host Sx3 Star on Saturday night.
Star are travelling to Dublin with a full team, with John Leahy increasing his court-time weekly. Gareth Maguire is in splendid form top-scoring on 31-points against Limerick last weekend.
In a disappointing result, UCD Marian went down 82-69 to Killester on Tuesday night and will be hoping to maintain their fifth place position with a victory over Star on Saturday.
BurgerKing Limerick will be hard to beat on their own court and have a full squad for their game against Killester this weekend.
Mardyke UCC Demons will be without Brian Clernon in a home battle against Notre Dame. Demons lost four of their five games since the cup, so will go into this game as underdogs, while Notre Dame have a full squad.
