DBS Eanna eliminate Neptune. 

DBS Eanna’s impressive season continued as they eliminated one of the pre-season cup favourites Energywise Neptune 97-93 in Cork. It was Eanna’s second win in recent weeks in Neptune Stadium and they are growing momentum into the team to beat this season. Darren McGovern’s squad have a deep and balanced attack and what was most impressive about their performance was their ability to be patient and find the right matchup to attack consistently. They got great looks at the basket all game and it’s going to take a strong defence to take away all of their options.
