The Dublin club, who slipped to a 89-80 defeat at Irish Guide Dogs Ballincollig @MTU on Saturday, responded with victory at Flexachem KCYMS. Jonny Grennell’s side trailed 53-46 at half-time, but a strong third quarter - where they outscored their opponents 28-15 - turned the game in their favour, before grinding out a three-point win, 86-83. Their Americans Isiah Dasher and Kason Harrell were to the fore, with 28 and 25 points respectively.
