Struggling UCC Demons tumble to 40-point defeat

UCC Demons suffered their biggest defeat since the inception of the Men’s Super League when they were demolished by Griffith Swords Thunder 99-59 at the Alsaa in Saturday.

What a change of fortune for the Cork club who were Superleague champions for the past two seasons under player coach Colin O’Reilly and also managed to secure seven of the nine major titles on offer.

On Saturday, they only managed nine points in the opening quarter with Swords chipping in with an impressive 31. So after dominating the top flight of basketball for the past three years what’s gone wrong at Demons?
