Magical Marian stun Neptune

UCD Marian produced a major upset in the Premier Men’s National Cup when defeating Neptune 95-77 in their first leg quarter-final clash at Belfield.

The students suffered a 19 point defeat to the Leesiders a fortnight ago in a league clash at the same venue but captain Conor Meany was determined not to suffer another humiliating home loss.

“We just couldn’t put 40 minutes of basketball together up to this game but credit to all the guys they showed great courage,” Meany said.
