Joey Boylan's faith pays off as DCU Saints stun Thunder

DCU Saints produced the shock of the weekend when defeating holders Griffith College Swords Thunder 75-70 in the first round of the Pat Duffy National Cup.

Saints, who have been struggling in recent weeks, found a new lease of life, and inspired by American Dee Proby, they led 42-38 at the break.

The second half was tense but credit to the Saints, they found key baskets coming down the stretch, much to the delight of coach Joey Boylan.
