NUIG Maree end Warriors’ winning run

NUIG Maree showed that their win over defending champions Templeogue in the Pat Duffy Cup a fortnight ago was no flash in the pan as Charlie Crowley’s side ended Tralee Warriors’ unbeaten start to the league in the Kingfisher on Saturday night.

Moycullen had the chance to end another unbeaten start to the league when they hosted Ballincollig on Sunday, but the Cork side took the honours to make it four wins from four,

At the other end of the spectrum, Titans are still waiting for their first win of the season after going down to Tolka Rovers in Dublin in the Men’s Division One. NUIG Mystics had the weekend off after their game with LYIT Donegal was called off to a fixture clash involving players with the Letterkenny side. Mystics host Ulster University in Claregalway College this Saturday (3pm).

NUIG Maree 91

Maree rammed their big Air Jordans through the snare drum of Tralee Warriors on Saturday night to end the Kerry side’s unbeaten start to the league.
