Neptune look to salvage season

MICHAEL EVANS embarks on one of the most difficult assignments in Irish basketball tomorrow night when he sends Neptune out against Roma St Vincent’s in the NIVEA for MEN SuperLeague at Glasnevin hoping to stem the flood that has threatened to submerge the Cork side this season.

Neptune are a proud club with a proud tradition. No club in the country has won more titles and Neptune Stadium is considered by many to be the spiritual home of Irish basketball.

But this season has been a disaster, losing by record scores to neighbours, UCC Demons and more recently to Gleneagle Lakers, who scored 149 points against them. They are bottom of the SuperLeague and out of the cup. The team has been in freefall.
