The biggest hope for struggling Demons is that their neighbours Neptune are also 1-8.

They could easily have more too. A buzzer beater loss away to Sligo. A 1 point triple OT loss to UCD that included Marian hitting a 3 on the buzzer to tie in double ot. And a 3 point home loss to Tralee. They also led Star for 3 qtrs in Belfast for 3 qtrs.

All the attention will be on Demons (understandably) but fair play to Limerick Celtics, they’ve been brilliant this year. They are in the 1/4 final of the cup and have 3 wins so far and have been a great addition to the league.

A couple of minutes later and Black heads to the bench still on 2 and Limerick’s lead is up to 20.

Shariff Black has just scored his first 2 points of the game early in the 3rd. Demons trail Limerick Celtics by 10 and Doles is on the bench in foul trouble. Danny O’Mahony needs Black to show why he signed him, it feels like it’s now or never.

Tralee beat Killester 62-47 in what must be one of the lowest scoring games of the past few seasons. Robert Braswell’s absence has been so damaging to Killester’s offense. With the international break ahead he has one more week to get back before the cup 1/4 final.

Few mad games so far tonight. Star survive a scare from Marian but the big one is Eanna come from behind to beat Killorglin 76-69. Killorglin scored just TWO points in the 4th losing it 23-2.

Big time win for Meteors over previously unbeaten Killester. The Women’s league needed that I think. Hazel Finn tops off a good international break with 24 in the win.

Ballincollig have had double figures out of one of their 3 pros in every qtr of this game. A simple recipe for success.

Demons trailing by 4 early in the fourth. They’ve had at least 4 unforced turnovers in the past 6 mins alone.

Demons in trouble here. Mitchell starting to dominate down in the Mardyke.

Looks like a good squad overall. Main concern is a lack of point guard playmaking with Sean the only natural pg on the team. If North Macedonia have TJ Shorts it could be very tricky too.

Ireland run out of steam in overtime against Israel. Two poor turnovers early in OT were very costly. Really disappointing but a great road performance and a long way from the Luxembourg game last week.

Overtime in Latvia. Incredible performance from Ireland, especially missing our best player. 77-77 Huge by Sarah Hickey to tie it up at the end.

Ireland score through Bronagh but a second straight 3 for Israel and they lead by 2 with 23.6 seconds to go.

Loose ball ends up with Israel and they hit a huge 3 to take a 1 point lead with 1.00 to go…
