Belfast Star suffer second defeat of the season to Killester in Domino’s Men’s Super League

Killester handed Belfast Star just their second defeat of the season in a 29-point victory in the IWA, 97-68.

Robert Braswell looked back to full fitness after missing a few weeks due to injury as he dropped 24 points on a very efficient 8-10 shooting, flanked by a 23-point game for Josh Wilson and 18 from Paul Dick. For Star, Irish international Rapolas Buivydas led the way with 20 points in 24 minutes but did not feature in the final quarter. The loss for Adrian Fulton's men has them off the top of the table for the first time in a while as they find themselves level with Ballincollig after this weekend's action. Killester now enter the top five with a 6-4 record and stay level with UCD Marian.

Ballincollig are now level at the summit of the Domino's Men’s Super League after a 93-76 victory over Flexachem KCYMS in Killorglin. Ballincollig's big three of Latrell Jossell, Latavious Mitchell and Josh Steel all continued their string of good performances, with Mitchell notably scoring 19 points on a highly efficient 8-13 shooting performance. Jeffery Okeke had a 35-point game for Killorglin as he tried to keep the Kerry side in the game with five threes from him. The loss for Declan Wall's men sees them fall to 4-6 with the potential to fall further down the table with EJ Sligo-All Stars in action tomorrow. For Ballincollig, they join the defeated Belfast Star at the top with a record of 8-2.

Energywise Ireland Neptune pulled off an upset with a 112-87 victory over Garvey's Tralee Warriors to earn their second victory of the season. Adon Gregorio stole the show for Neptune with a season-high 30 points. Neptune's offence lit up in the second half with a 37-point third quarter, giving them a 21-point lead heading into the fourth, which Tralee couldn't fight back from. The win for Neptune puts them at 2-8 after their first win since the 1^st of November. The loss for Tralee comes at a tough time for them, as they are now even at 5-5, the same record as four other teams heading into this weekend.

Griffith College Éanna avoided the upset with a comfortable 107-85 win over Limerick Celtics on Saturday evening. It was a tale of two halves, with the Celtics pushing Éanna all the way behind a strong first-half showing from new acquisition Sean Hauser. Éanna really turned the heat up a notch in the second half, with Irish international Sean Jenkins scoring 14 of his 25 points in the third and fourth quarters. The win for Éanna puts them at a strong 7-3 record and well amongst the leading pack. For Celtics, the loss is their seventh of the season and leaves them in tenth despite some promising performances.

St. Vincent’s fell to 5-5 for the season after a 98-76 loss to UCD Marian. Both sides went into the game with identical records, but 28 points from a debuting Bruce Saintilus on 10-20 shooting powered UCD to their sixth win of the season. Vincent’s scored the opening basket of the game through Jaylyn Richardson, but the 2-0 lead was the singular lead that they enjoyed in the game, with Marian keeping their lead from 5-2 all the way to the very end.

The new-look UCC Demons managed to pick up some momentum with two new pros getting a win in their debuts with a 103-88 victory over EJ Sligo All-Stars on Sunday. New acquisitions Tamyrik Fields and Jordan Washington combined for 36 points in their opening Super League game for the Demons, helping them get their second win of the season and bring their record to 2-8. For Sligo, RJ Etyle-Rock scored 28, including five three-pointers, in a bid to get Sligo back into the game, but to no avail. Sligo now fall to 4-6 for the season, level with Killorglin in ninth.
