Eager Tigers lying in wait for Ballina

TRALEE Tigers will be in a mean mood when Merry Monk Ballina arrive in Tralee this weekend bidding to strip the home side of the coveted National Cup they paraded through the town along with the Sam Maguire on St. Patrick’s Day.

It will be a daunting task for a Ballina side who lost 98-89 to Tigers in their recent NIVEA for Men SuperLeague clash and are coming off two losses. At the best of times the Tigers den which is the Tralee Sports Centre can be an intimidating place for visiting teams and the fact that it will be sold out for this game makes it even more daunting.

Last weekend Ballina’s confidence was bruised when UCC Demons hit 100 points against them.
