Merry Monk add to students’ woes

MERRY MONK BALLINA put the finishing touches to what has been a good first half season with a 94-80 victory over troubled UCD Marian on Saturday night and this keeps them alongside HOOPS at the top of the table.

With the rush for a place in the play-offs getting under way coach Terry Kennedy was happy with the performance.

“I think we played well last night. Ronan McGarrity and Robert Taylor both had 23 points with Jay Marriott on 14 and Chris Smith on 11 and there were two other players on 10 so the scoring was pretty well distributed,” he said. “We led all the way and had a 10 point cushion at half time.
