Late drama as UCD stun holders

TEARS of joy for UCD Marian as they defeated hot favourites Killester in a pulsating Men’s SuperLeague national cup final at the National Basketball Arena yesterday.

Players and officials of the club wept openly after the greatest moment in their club’s 43-year history, their first ever title at this level.

Both teams looked tentative in the opening exchanges before Killester’s Jermaine Turner punished the students with two free throws. After four minutes without a score, UCD’s American James Crowder shot a massive three pointer, and the students were finally on a roll.
