Basketball: UCC Demons shock league leaders Griffith Swords Thunder

UCC Demons produced the result of the weekend when they toppled league leaders Griffith Swords Thunder 96-95 in an epic Men’s Super League clash at the Mardyke Arena yesterday.

Demons looked home and hosed when holding a six-point lead with 22 seconds remaining, but three-pointers from Charlie Coombes and Isaac Westbrooks tied the game.

In a highly charged game, a verbal outburst by Coombes at referee Martin McGettrick with two seconds remaining saw Demons awarded a technical foul.
