O’Neill and Scannell get perfect start at new clubs

THERE were perfect results for new coaches, Darren O’Neill and Mark Scannell, as the reigning NIVEA for MEN SuperLeague champions, 11890 Killester, Bord Gais Neptune, got the new basketball season under way.

O’Neill, who replaced Mark Keenan at Killester this season, got his reign off to a winning start with a comprehensive 90-63 win over his former club Belfast Star.

“It’s good to get a winning start but we are under no illusions and it is very difficult to read much into the result,” he said.
