A feast of basketball pass your Saturday afternoon, starting of with the Basketball Ireland Men's Development League Plate Final between Merry Monk Ballina and Cavan Eagles at 10am. A Munster derby between Tralee Warriors and Limerick Celtics is sandwiched between Templeogue's clash with St. Paul's Killarney at 2pm. 

Promotion to the top tier of Irish basketball is on the line from 17:30 when McEvoy's Cavan Eagles and Limerick Celtics face-off in Domino's Women's Division One Final, before ND Audit Portlaoise Panthers try to avenge their cup final defeat to Limerick Celtics by pipping them to the Domino's Men's Division One crown and promotion to the Domino's Men's Super League for 2025/26. 

Sunday morning sees some of the next generation of Irish basketball's stars in the U20 Men's National League Final. No fewer than eight Irish underage internationals will be on the court for this one, in what promises to be a high flying game of basketball ahead of the Domino's Men's and Women's Super League Finals to round out this spectacular weekend at the National Basketball Arena on Sunday afternoon.
