Killester coach Keenan says win over Demons typifies players’ self-belief

ALL-CONQUERING 11890 Killester refused to wilt as they secured their eighth win of an impressive season in Cork — but UCC Demons pushed them all the way (90-82) in the top Nivea For Men’s SuperLeague game of the weekend.

Demons held a five point advantage at the break with Marcus Van and Shane Coughlan causing plenty of problems for the reigning champions. However, Killester were in no mood to relinquish their perfect start to the season and once again the influential Jermaine Turner top scored with 23 points.

“It was one of the toughest games we’ve had this season,” agreed Killester coach Mark Keenan. “We got off to a slow start but we got going in the second half. I am delighted and this game typifies the spirit and belief the players have.
