Frustration for Hibernia as Tajfun take victory in Tallaght

Hibernia 72 Tajfun 93: The harsh lessons of elite European basketball continue for Hibernia who let Tajfun off the hook in a FIBA Europe Cup tie in Tallaght.

The combined club side controlled the early exchanges and put the game in the mix in the third quarter but turnovers and fouls allowed the Slovenians pull through by 20 points.

“Our expectations have risen over the last five weeks,” said Colin O’Reilly. “Every single player went out there with the belief we were going to win.”
