Blue Demons U16A’s clinched the U16A league title after a play off victory over Neptune tonight(29-Mar) before a large attendance in the Parochial Hall. Dave Lehane and Dermot Looney’s troops started on fire and had a sizable lead at the end of the 1st quarter(27-11) after really pushing the pace.<\/p>\n
Our tempo and scoring rate slowed in the second quarter as Neptune improved but our lads managed to maintain the lead into half time\u00a0 – 39-34.<\/p>\n
Both teams went for it in the 3rd quarter with lads injured on both teams as recent battles started to show but Demons extended the lead in this quarter(57-46) as our lads finished the quarter very strongly with everybody contributing.<\/p>\n
The 4th quarter was another tough battle but our lads battled hard to clinch victory on a scoreline of 69 points to 62 as James Beckom was very glad to lift the League Trophy. This was a real team victory with everybody giving their all.<\/p>\n
Thanks to everyone who came out to support the team tonight.<\/p>\n
Congratulations again to all involved on this well deserved league victory as everybody can be proud of their efforts throughout this league campaign!<\/p>\n
Hopefully there is more to follow with the focus now switching to the Top 4 and AICC in April.<\/p>\n
