39-point Niall O’Reilly drives Blue Demons into final

Ej Sligo All-Stars dared to dream on Saturday as, in their first year back in the National League, they won their Hula Hoops President’s Cup semi-final against Team Kilkenny 86-63.

Irish U18 international Oisin O’Reilly was the star of the show as Sligo had to dig deep without the services of young talent Cian Lally, Aidan O’Shea and Peter Papik.

An emotional head coach, Shane O’Meara, could not compute the enormity of what they had done.
