Tricky away test for Maigh Cuilinn as they look to build on winning start to the season
Thu, Oct 10, 2024
After a well deserved victory against Limerick Sport Eagles in their season opener, Maigh Cuilinn will look to build on their winning momentum as they face Limerick Celtics this Saturday in Crescent College, Limerick.
In their return to National League basketball, Maigh Cuilinn delivered a gutsy 82–75 win over Limerick Sport Eagles at the University of Galway Sports Arena last weekend. The home crowd, energised by the return of competitive basketball to Galway after a long off-season, played a key role in spurring on their side during critical moments of the game. The victory marked new head coach Paul O’Brien’s first competitive win in charge, with the team showing glimpses of promise under his leadership.
