Superleague leaders Tralee Warriors win appeal against points deduction

Superleague pacesetters Garvey’s Tralee Warriors have won their appeal against a points deduction imposed for incorrectly registering American, Andre Berry, sources say.

Tralee were docked two wins (six points) by Basketball Ireland for playing Berry – who came in for compatriot Keith Jumper – in Superleague victories over UCD Marian and Eanna. The governing body’s MNCC (Men’s National Competitions Committee) ruled that Berry had not been properly registered for three games in all – one of which Tralee lost one to Belfast Star.
