Tralee Tigers tame Demons

HORAN’S Health Stores Tigers, Tralee, extended their unbeaten Superleague run to six games with a hard-fought win over Mardyke UCC Demons (74-67) at the Tralee Sports Complex on Saturday night.

The win keeps the Tigers on top of the Southern Conference, and it also sets them up well for Tuesday night’s local derby clash with Killarney’s Gleneagle Lakers.

Once more, Tigers got big games out of their Americans, especially MVP Brandon Mason, who was top scorer with 26 points, while Chris Bracy chipped in with 17 points. Local player, Micheal Quirke, started and finished strong, and put up 12 points, while Kieran Donaghy and Rob Lynch did well in defence.
