Eagles take flight to edge past Moycullen

It was billed as derby weekend and clubs all over Ireland will be standing that little bit taller after some classic grudge matches were settled.

On Saturday night, UL Eagles and Moycullen’s match up in Limerick shifted attention west. Last season saw some memorable encounters between the teams with two games being decided by a single basket.

Keen to reassert their dominance over the only other west of Ireland team in the league, Eagles jumped into an early lead that they never relinquished, running out deserving winners on a scoreline of 78-62.
