Lions too much for Hoops

Limerick Lions 104 Shamrock Rovers Hoops 97

Limerick Lions succeeded in leading Hoops to their first defeat of this year’s Nivea for Men SuperLeague today by beating them 104-97 at home.

It was a good display all round for Lions, who played strong defence and were also clinical in offence.

Hall, Campbell, King, Powell and Harrigan all played well and the Lions seemed a little more hungry for the win than Hoops.

The final scoreline rewarded their efforts.
