Men's Super League: Killester get back on track with victory over Neptune

Killester will be hoping their 98-75 success against Energywise Ireland Neptune in Clontarf on Saturday night will have steadied their ship in Men's Super League.

Defeats in two of their previous three games, including a 14-point midweek reversal at the hands of UCD Marian, saw them drop back to second in the table, but victory in their latest outing has kept them just three points off current table toppers, UCC Demons, and with a game in hand.

Bright St Vincent’s bolstered their hopes of survival in the top flight following an 96-89 overtime victory at home against Flexachem KCYMS that ended a run of three straight defeats for the Dublin side.

JaRon Thames had a big say in this encounter, putting up a huge 37 points for St. Vincent’s, ten of which were registered in overtime to help his side surmount their Killorglin rivals, for whom Beni Fungula (24), Jeffery Okeke (21) and Jordan Blount (20) all figured strongly on the scoresheet.

Garvey’s Tralee Warriors book-ended an impressive performance against EJ Sligo All-Stars with big first and fourth-quarter surges to secure a 103-70 triumph at MTU Kerry on Saturday evening.
