Lions hoping to roar on against Saints

LIMERICK LIONS produced the shock result of the opening weekend of basketball’s men’s SuperLeague by pipping Merry Monk by a point in Ballina — and now their coach, Matt Hall, wants more of the same for the visit of DCU Saints to the UL Arena tomorrow night.

“Last week is behind us now and we will need to raise our display to a higher level to get anything out of the match with DCU,” he insisted.

Joey Boylan’s DCU Saints, who got their season off to a blistering start with a 102-74 win over Hoops, have an injury worry in Mike Trimmer, who strained his hamstring and was unable to train earlier in the week.
