GARVEY’S Tralee Warriors are waking up today as InsureMyVan.ie Super League champions.
The Tralee side completed a remarkable double — having won the National Cup in January — winning 78-72 in the final over C&S Neptune at the National Basketball Arena last night.
Trailing 28-25 after the first quarter, Warriors kept up the pressure but still ended up 42-38 down at half-time. In fact, at the three quarter mark they still lagged behind, 60-54.
It wasn’t until under four minutes to go that Warriors took the lead for the first time and they expanded that lead to win by 78 to 72. A monumental win then for Warriors, one that’ll be celebrated long into next week in town.
