ONLY two Limerick National League basketball teams registered victories in the third round of fixtures over the weekend.
In the Men's Division 1 league both Limerick Sport Eagles and Limerick Celtics men's side gained vital victories against their opponents.
This was Eagles first win of the season after two opening round defeats to Galway sides Moycullen and Titans BC. The UL-based team got the better of Tipperary Talons by five points on Saturday night, 87-82. Scores were evenly distributed throughout the side with both Ignacio Folguerias and Sean Morrissey registering 14 points each with Alexander Carlisle picking up top-point scorer with 24 points on the night. In an extremely exciting Bank Holiday weekend fixture Eagles will take on local rivals Limerick Celtics in Crescent College at 7pm on Saturday night.
