FloMAX Liffey Celtics defeat league leaders Killester in Domino’s Women’s Super League

Liffey Celtics led by 30 points as they entered the final quarter of action. Still, a 29-11 final quarter made the scoreline more respectable for Killester, who were missing their points leader, Samantha Haiby. Michelle Clarke and Audrey Roden scored 23 each to try fill the void that the 24 points per game Haiby had left for Killester. But 22 points from Sorcha Tiernan and 16 each from Brooke Kane and Katie Williamson powered Liffey to their fifth win of the season and now sit in sixth for the time being with an even record of 5-5. The loss for Killester is only their second of the season, but they remain at the top of the league, with a minimum one-game cushion guaranteed after all fixtures are played this weekend.

The other four games in the Domino’s Women’s Super League will take place on Sunday and Monday, with all games being shown live on BITV.

In the Domino’s Men’s Super League, the defending champions UCC Demons are now at the bottom of the Domino’s Men’s Super League table after a 95-77 loss to Cork rivals Energywise Ireland Neptune. Neptune held as much as a 21-point lead over Demons. Tamyrik Fields dropped a 24-point and nine-rebound game on Saturday, but it was Samuel Henderson for Neptune who led the way with 28 points. Henderson had a strong supporting cast with Michael Hayes having 18 points and 14 boards and Adon Gregorio scored 23. The win now has Neptune at 3-9 for the season and leaves Demons at 2-10 at the foot of the table.

There are three games left this weekend in the Domino’s Men’s Super League, with all three games on Sunday. The highlight of the day being fourth-placed Griffith College Éanna hosting third-place UCD Marian on Sunday afternoon. All games will be broadcast live on BITV.
