Deadly Doles leaves Lions licking their wounds

UCC Demons 100 Limerick Lions 84

Doles underscored that fact at the Mardyke Arena yesterday when he scored 30 points for UCC Demons as they beat Limerick Lions 100-84 to get the second half of the season off to a flying start.

The 6’7” Doles provided the bricks and mortar to build on a slender one point half-time lead with eight points in the third quarter that left Demons eight points clear turning into the home straight and when Tom Hehir’s side began to show signs of fatigue ­ the legacy from a battling win over Gleneagle Lakers 48 hours earlier - Doles sensed it and punished them with a devastating display in the fourth quarter. He landed an early three pointer and had the game sewn up before Pat Price called him ashore to a standing ovation from the huge home following.
