Basketball: Grant drives Waterford Crystal on to victory

WATERFORD Crystal picked up only their third Superleague success of the season when they had 10 points to spare (88-78) over Burger King Limerick in the only men’s senior game of the weekend.

The first round of the Junior Men's Cup dominated the weekend agenda, imposing a further interruption on many teams in the ESB Men's Superleague. Neither Waterford Crystal nor Burger King Limerick are participating in the Junior Cup this year, allowing them proceed with Superleague action.

Waterford's Robert Grant was happy they did, scoring 22 points for the eventual winners. But it was Grant's brilliant defensive display in guarding Burger King's danger man Jamal Hunter which proved decisive.
