Ballincollig are hoping for another cup of joy

Ciaran O’Sullivan is confident his side can return to the big stage, having been in top form throughout this campaign, undefeated until their first loss at home in the league to Kubs last weekend. They've already seen off the Northern Conference top dogs Eanna in the last round and are hot favourites to see off Celtics, on Saturday at 6pm in Neptune.

“When we did it at Demons it was probably one of the best teams in Irish basketball with so many class players and in Shane Coughlan and Niall O’Reilly you had two great experienced leaders that didn’t know the meaning of defeat.

“Look, it seems to be common knowledge that Turrell Morris has decided to leave and knowing their coach Tony Hehir he will have a good replacement. The Celtics are a tall side and have the experienced trio of John Galvin, Shane O’Connell and Rob Lynch and they will battle to the wire.”
