Coincidentally all hosts won their games. Here is the last round review presented by LBM Management.
Ninth-ranked Killester (1-5) made lots of trouble for second ranked Eagles (5-1) in Virginia on Saturday. Eagles managed to secure only three-point victory 57-54. However their fans expected much easier game. Cavan Eagles have a solid four-game winning streak. They maintain second position with 5-1 record having just one point less than leader St.Paul's. Defending champion Killester keeps the ninth place with five games lost. Cavan Eagles are looking forward to face Glanmire (#7) in Cork in the next round where they are favorite. Killester will play at home against Liffey Celtics and is hoping to prove to their fans that this time they can win.
An exciting game between Top Four teams was played in Killarney. Top-ranked St.Paul's faced 3rd ranked Wildcats. Host St.Paul's (5-0) defeated guests from Waterford (4-2) 79-69. Undefeated St.Paul's have an impressive five-game winning streak. They maintain first position with 5-0 record. Waterford at the other side keeps the third place with two games lost. They share the position with Liffey Celtics. St.Paul's will play against Limerick C. (#8) on the road in the next round and are hoping to win another game. Waterford will play against Trinity Meteors (#5) and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
Bottom-ranked Pathners (0-6) tried to put together a comeback for its first victory of the season, but they fell short in the 67-42 loss to fifth ranked Celtics (4-2) in Kildare on Thursday evening. Celtics moved-up to third place, which they share with Waterford. Loser Pathners still closes the standings with six games lost. Liffey Celtics will meet Killester (#9) in the next round where they are favorite. Portlaoise will play against Brunell in Cork and hopes to get finally their first victory.
