Neptune travelled to Killarney to play Gleneagle Lakers and came away with a two point victory, 80-82, after a thriller, while Mardyke UCC Demons kept home fans happy with an 83-55 win over a depleted BurgerKing Limerick side.

And Horan’s Healthstores Tigers, the team on everyone’s lips before the season tipped off at all, showed that it is not all just talk with an impressive 10 point victory (88-78) over John Hayes’ Waterford Crystal side.
