Super Ballincollig march undefeated into holiday break

Promoted Cork side make it eight from eight in the Men's Superleague. UCC Glanmire on a roll on Women's league

TOO HOT: Balliincollig's Ciaran O'Sullivan shields possession as TradeHouse Central Ballincollig rack up another Superleague win - this time over Belfast Star.

THE question might appear churlish and unfair to Tradehouse Central Ballincollig, but it's worth posing all the same. Are Superleague standards on the wane, are Ballincollig profiting as a result or has the all-conquering Cork side, just promoted from the second tier, got a lock already on basketball's team of the year?

Kieran O'Sullivan's group registered an eighth straight win in their maiden Super League season on Saturday, downing Belfast Star 82-68. Andre Nation once again top scored with 21, Milorad Sedlarevic on 20, while Ireland international Adrian O'Sullivan picked up 13.
