Expect passion play as basketball's Neptune rises again

There’s something special happening down in the pocket of Cork city that houses Neptune Stadium: something rooted in years of history and in a passion ignited by one thing and one thing only – basketball.

The club is looking ahead to a major weekend with three teams contesting National Cup semi-finals on Leeside over the coming days — on their home court. And this is no flash in the pan.

This time 12 months ago two teams full of a who’s who of Irish underage internationals rocketed the club to a double Cup title win at U18 and U20 level. A year later and they are hungrier for more silverware.
