Neptune aim for Kerry double

NEPTUNE did not take long to produce the performance that coach Jim Nugent promised at the start of the new SuperLeague season when they overwhelmed Mark Scannell’s Gleneagle Lakers in Killarney on Wednesday night.

Now he is hoping for more of the same when they host Conference leaders and defending champions Abrakebabra Tigers from Tralee, at Neptune Stadium tomorrow night.

Coach Nugent, who returned this season to lead Neptune after a nine-year absence, could not hide his delight as he reflected on their 105-91 victory at the Gleneagle INEC centre. But he was quick to point out the role Stephen McCarthy played in the win.
