Tigers had too much in the tank

Defending their SuperLeague title from the top of the table, the Tralee side had to be fancied but it was not until they beat the two time champions, Mardyke UCC Demons, in a tight semi-final on Saturday afternoon that it became a real possibility.

Once again, they did it the hard way yesterday. The game did not provide the nailbiting finishes of recent years but it had plenty of excitement for the fans. The lead changed no fewer than 12 times and the scores were tied five times in the struggle for supremacy.
