Meanwhile, there was a tremendous win on the road for WIT Vikings in Cork last night when they came away with a one point win over Fr Mathews 80 to 79.
Thirteen points behind at half time a huge defensive effort pulled them back into the game and it was nail biting stuff in the final minutes.
20 points from Daniel Noe, 17 from Scott Dunphy and 13 from Ryan Pepper ensured the win. 17 points from 19 year old WIT Scholarship student Scott Dunphy was the highlight of the win.
