Demons torment Limerick with last-gasp winner

UCC Demons 81 Limerick Lions 79

Niall O’Reilly ruled out overtime with a basket in the final moments after they had battled their way back from a 14-point deficit to pip luckless Limerick Lions.

Again Shane Coughlan played a major role in the dramatics. When Limerick appeared to have the game at their mercy he stole the ball and popped the basket to level it. Limerick had possession and an opportunity to snatch the lead again but it was Niall O’Reilly who made the winning shot and claim his own place among the cup final legends.
