Basketball: “When you are on four losses every win is important.”
In total contrast to the first cross-conference weekend when southern sides reigned supreme, Dublin's Dart Killester out-gunned defending champions Neptune of Cork (83-79), Star beat visiting Gleneagle Lakers (93-84), Waterford Crystal were overwhelmed by St. Vincent's 103-74 and BurgerKing Limerick suffered a two point defeat by Shamrock Rovers at UL.
Indeed, at one stage yesterday, it looked as if Hibernian UCD Marian would make it a northern conference sweep at the Mardyke Arena in Cork, as UCC Demons relinquished a 10 point half time lead to trail by one midway through the third quarter.
