Basketball: Conor Meany's round-up of weekend action

Demons beaten by Warriors and plenty more around the leagues.

Brunell get crucial 78-74 win over Liffey Celtics 

Liffey Celtics' perfect start to the season has ended as they suffered their first defeat of the season at the hands of fellow title challengers Brunell. In many ways this was a must-win game for the Nellies as they had already dropped one game (when they were missing Edel Thornton against Killester), and a second loss would open a two-game gap with Liffey. Instead Brunell’s athleticism and directness paid huge dividends as they opened a double-digit first-half lead before surviving Liffey’s second half fightback.
