Templeogue advance to face back-to-back chasing Neptune

A fired-up Templeogue employed the old-fashioned virtues of good hustle and aggressive rebounding to bounce fancied Killorglin out of contention for the Men’s U18 National Cup.

Jason Killeen’s side had plenty of outside shooting options too, and a third quarter three party catapulted them out of Killorglin’s range yesterday and into a final in three weeks against defending champions Neptune, who eased past Ongar Chasers 75-48.

Tom Phelan, Jack Walsh and Matthew Harper all hit threes as the Dublin teenagers broke open a 30-30 half time tie.
