Gneeveguilla extended their lead by 6 points by the end of the 2nd period. Imperials made a valiant comeback in the 3rd with some great team work closing the game by 3 points at the end of the 3rd.

Our U20 Men have qualified for the last 8 in the National Cup after a 58-48 win over Phoenix of Belfast.

In what was a close game, Tralee Imperials led by just a point at half time (31-30). Philip Corkery opened the second half with a 3 pointer, followed by scores from Karl Hoffman, Ryan Leonard, Dara Devine and Keelan Crowe which stretched the Imperials lead to 44-38 at the end of the 3rd quarter.

Jack O’Connor and others worked tirelessly under the boards grabbing vital rebounds and Imperials reacted well to the full court pressure from the Belfast side in the final minutes of the game.

Tralee Imperials won the game on a final score of 58-48 and advance on to the National Cup quarter final where they face defending cup champions Neptune BC of Cork. Top scorers for Tralee: Leonard, R (21), Crowe, K (14) and Devine, D (13).

Our U16 girls played their first home game on Wednesday night against Caherciveen. After a low scoring first quarter due to chances not been taken, Imperials led 9-6 @ end of Q1. From the start of the second Imperials took control and were ahead 22-10 @ halftime.

We continued to play well for the remainder of the game and ended Q3 41-17 ahead and saw out Q4 to finish the game 56-21.
