Mighty Neptune stun Saints in cup thriller

Bord Gáis Neptune produced their best performance of the season defeating DCU Saints 95-87 in a thrilling Men’s Premier National Cup quarter-final at the Neptune Stadium.

The defending champions went into the game without Roy Downey (ankle) and with Michael McGinn (work) and their battling qualities were tested to maximum.

There were many heroes for Neptune but the performance of captain Ger Noonan was immense. Noonan finished with a 15-point tally but his vision and assists were a sight to behold as coach Mark Scannell praised his entire squad.
