Leeside gets ready for Cup feast

CORK is regarded by many as the spiritual home of Irish basketball and fans are in for another treat this weekend when all the National Cup semi-finals will be decided over two action-packed days at Neptune Stadium and the Parochial Hall.

Last evening, Lord Mayor of Cork, Cllr Mick O’Connell, urged the people of the city to turn out in force to support the event when he held a reception for the organisers, Glanmire Basketball Club and the Cork Ladies Board at City Hall.

The event will bring hundreds of players and supporters to the city with a huge interest in the four SuperLeague Cup semi-finals, which brings the two favourites for the cup, champions 11890 Killester, and high-flying Limerick side, UL Eagles, into opposition for a thrilling climax to the programme.
