The Limerick Celtics Men's side suffered back-to-back defeats last weekend when losing to Belfast Star in Da La Salle College.
A Limerick Celtics side led by the duo of Abdul Wurie and A.J. Williams started the game well.
They hammered home their impressive first half performance by going in at half-time up by 14 points, but as the third quarter wore on and as we entered the final ten minutes of the game, Star quietly chewed away at the Celtics’ lead.
Star would eventually be rewarded with the lead with eight minutes left and once Star went in front, there was no going back with Belfast running out 81-73 winners.
The Celtics welcome the Tralee Warriors to the UL Arena this Friday night with a tip-off time of 7pm. The Warriors are 2-1 heading into Friday's clash, registering wins over UCC Demons and UCD Marian.
The Celtic's Women's side left Kingfisher with a precious win on last weekend with a 62-44 win over Galway Mystics with Sabhbh Edwards Murphy and Sydney Richard shooting 12 points each.
Amy Buckley played outstanding defence with four blocks and hit nine points. Aoife Morrissey's pace troubled Galway all game and she chipped in with seven points.
Katie Black contributed an incredible stat line of 19 rebounds, four steals, two assists, a block and eight points as well while Aishling Jordan chipped in with seven points.
Next up for the Celtics is a home fixture against Templeogue at Crescent College on Saturday at 6pm.
Templeogue come into the tie boasting an impressive 3-0 record, Jordan Hehir and his charges will know they face a stern test in welcoming their visitors from the capital.
Meanwhile, the Limerick Sport Huskies picked up a valuable win last weekend in Belfast against the Cleveland Rockets, winning 76-69.
Next up for Patrick O'Regan's side is a trip to the capital to face Moy Tolka Rovers on Saturday at 5pm. Moy Tolka come ito the game with a 1-2 record, most recently losing to Dublin raiders. O'Regan and his side will be hoping to continue that trend on Saturday.
The Limerick Sport Eagles also got back to winning ways last weekend with a hard-fought win over Templeogue in Tallaght, winning 71-69.
It was a much-needed win for Niall McDermott's side who now have a home game against BC Titans of Galway at the UL Arena to look forward to. The Titans come into the game with a record of 2-1, narrowly losing their 100% record last time out against Ulster University.
Tip-off on Sunday is at 3pm in the UL Arena.
