Duane Johnson inspires DCU Saints to shock win over UCC Demons

DCU Saints produced the shock of the season in the Men’s Premier League, defeating reigning champions C&S UCC Demons 100-90.

The Saints have been transformed since the signing of American Duane Johnson who finished with a game-high 39 points.

Demons looked in control despite only commanding a six-point interval lead but the game was turned on its head in the third quarter when Saints ran riot. Incredibly Demons were outscored 36-12 in this period as the Glasnevin side surged to an 18-point lead. Despite Demons reducing the deficit to six points coming down the stretch DCU finished in style much to the delight of coach Joey Boylan.
