Lakers rally to sink Demons’ challenge

GLENEAGLE LAKERS recorded a sensational second successive victory over the table toppers and defending champions, UCC Demons (105-90) in another thrilling NIVEA for MEN SuperLeague clash in Killarney on Saturday.

That game sets up what promises to be an enthralling derby clash with Abrakebabra Tigers in their bid for a place in the play-offs next Wednesday night.

Tigers reinforced their claim to a place in the play-offs with a hard-earned victory over Neptune on Friday night. Lakers went into their game with Demons under pressure to duplicate their pre-cup final weekend performance, when they came from 37 points down to snatch a shock win.
