Ballincollig’s Emporium Cork Basketball have acclimatised to the rarefied air of the InsureMyVan.ie Men’s Super League quicker than perhaps they even anticipated.

On Saturday, following their second season in the top flight, they stamped their class on the league decider, with 14 points to spare over National Cup winners University of Galway Maree (78-64).
