Regular Season Round 12: Neptune - Tralee 92-95

Date: December 29, 2018
A very close game took place in Cork between Tralee and Neptune. Fourth ranked Tralee (7-3) got a very close victory on the road over 9th ranked Neptune (4-7). Tralee managed to escape with a 3-point win 95-92 on Saturday evening. Guest team only slightly avoided a big embarassment. It ended at the same time the three-game winning streak of Neptune. Great defensive blocking was one of the keys in this match when Tralee made 10 blocks. The winners were led by American guard Jordan Evans (196, college: W.Texas A&M) who scored that evening 31 points and the former international guard Paul Dick (193-91, college: Franklin Pierce) supported him with 17 points, 5 rebounds, 9 assists and 4 steals. Tralee's coach used a ten-player rotation in such tough game. Even a double-double of 18 points, 10 rebounds and 4 blocks by American forward Lehmon Colbert (198-88, college: Jacksonville) did not help to save the game for Neptune. His fellow American import swingman Justus Melton (201, college: Dickinson) added 16 points and 5 rebounds. Five Neptune players scored in double figures. Tralee have a solid three-game winning streak. Defending champion moved-up to second place, which they share with Belfast Star. Newly promoted Neptune keeps the ninth position with seven games lost. They share it with Killorglin and Maree. Tralee will meet Killorglin (#11) in the next round and are hoping to win another game. Neptune's supporters look forward to an exciting derby game next round, where their team will travel locally in Cork to the arena UCC Demons.
