Eagles dare to dream of double

UL Eagles double dream remains on track following their emphatic 85-57 win over UCC Demons in the Nivea Men’s SuperLeague semi-final at the Mardyke Arena yesterday.

Demons entered the tie as favourites but were always chasing the game, as the Limerick side led 46-36 at the interval and continued that domination until the final whistle.

UL coach Mark Keenan praised his players commitment: “We won the national cup when few gave us a chance and now we have beaten Killester and UCC Demons on their own terrain in the last fortnight so I think we deserve a crack at achieving the double. The difference was how we structured our defence and now we have a hard week ahead in preparation for the final against DCU Saints.”
