Tigers boss Collins braced for backlash as Ballina on hunt for revenge

ABRAKEBABRA Tigers are braced for a backlash in Ballina tomorrow night when they play Merry Monk in the 11th round of the NIVEA for MEN SuperLeague.

Tigers consolidated their position in the South Conference on Wednesday night with a dramatic last-ditch stand at the Tralee Sports Centre where evergreen John Teehan landed the winner from the free-throw line at the end of a thrilling game with arch rivals, UCC Demons.

On their last trip to Ballina, Tigers sent the home side tumbling out of the national cup in dramatic fashion.
