DRIVE: Demon's Da'Kaquan Davis goes to the board in Sunday's Superleague clash with Pyrobel Killester at the Parochial Hall. 

Templeogue stun Neptune 101-85.

Any hopes that last week’s National Cup win was the real start of a new season for Neptune were put to bed with a comprehensive home loss at the hands of Templeogue. Max Cooper and Shon Briggs are gone, Colin O’Reilly is gone, and Jonathan Lawton was playing his last game on Saturday after asking out. Neptune has so much talent at their disposal, but they look like they are playing with the weight of the world on their shoulders at times and they are hemorrhaging points on the defensive end. Templeogue scored 101, their first time over the century mark and they didn’t even play incredibly well in the first half. Neptune currently allow 91 points a game, the second worst mark in the league ahead of just bottom dwellers St Vincents.
