Demons edge out Saints to stay top

UCC Demons coach, Douglas Leichner, was a happy man after his side came from behind in a spectacular finish to beat DCU Saints 86-82 and keep their NIVEA for MEN SuperLeague record straight.

The sides were level at 37 apiece at half time and Demons trailed going into the fourth quarter before two late three-pointers from the game’s top scorer, Ryan Hamblet, secured the victory that left Coach Leichner smiling.

“It was a tough game. DCU were ready to play. They came and gave it their best shot — which I thought was great because we took a punch and were able to respond,” Leichner said.
