Irish basketball’s men’s national league first division playoffs have been thrown into disarray after the sport’s National Appeals Committee sensationally ordered that Portlaoise Panthers’ quarter-final against Limerick Sport Eagles be replayed.

Eagles won the original fixture last Saturday night in Portlaoise, 80-78, after former Irish international captain Jason Killeen sank a pair of free throws upon being adjudged to have been fouled in the act of shooting as the buzzer sounded.
