KILLESTER WON THEIR sixth Pat Duffy National Cup title — and their first since 2019 — as they defeated defending champions UCC Demons 92-75 in the final at the National Basketball Arena on Saturday.
A fast break and layup from Dick and it was 16-9 to Killester with 3:10 to go, prompting a UCC Demons timeout. Demons came out of the timeout with a pair of corner threes by Kyle Hosford and Blake Murphy, either side of Andy McGeever’s three for Killester, to trail 19-15. Killester opened up a six point lead, 45-39, with a minute to go following Chazelas’ score. A pair of David Lehane baskets left it at 45-41 at the break.
A Robinson layup had Demons 66-63 up 90 seconds into the fourth quarter but moments later, Andy McGeever downed his third from the three-point line to bring it level once more.
