Killester ready to have final say

WHILE admitting the focus will be on the UCC Demons versus Bord Gáis Neptune National Cup semi-final tomorrow afternoon, it would be foolish to suggest it would decide the destination of Irish basketball’s blue riband title.

11890 Killester coach Darren O’Neill is quick to point out today’s semi-final between his side and UL Eagles has all the right ingredients to cook up a thriller. He will be courtside with Mark Keenan, who led Killester to cup and SuperLeague titles in the past before a surprise pre-season move to Eagles.

O’Neill has been going through a rebuilding process since then. Having worked with Armagh footballers when they won the 2001 All-Ireland, he is using his GAA background.
