O’Halloran turns on the style for Demons
Both sides went into the game on the back of big league wins last weekend but in the end it was true grit that saw Demons through, sending Neptune to knock at the back door for a place in the quarter-finals.
It was a night of nights for Demons’ Tim O’Halloran. Coach Pat Price handed him the task of marshalling Neptune’s newcomer Ronnie Clarke and he was a revelation in both commitment and discipline. In addition, Damian Matacz dished out the torment to Neptune en route to a game high of 24, while Patrick Pope, workmanlike and efficient at both ends of the court, ended up with 21 points when scores were hard to come by.
