An Cearnog Nua, Moycullen basketball made an emphatic statement with a magnificent 15-point win over division favourites Team Garveys Castleisland in the Kingfisher NUIG Sports Centre on Saturday.
Superb defence ensured Moycullen contained the visitors for the first three quarters and then pull away for a fully deserved victory.
Cian Nihill led the scoring charts with a superb 33 point haul, but the win was carved on a magnificent defensive effort from all the players. Two players with different levels of experience deserve special mention. Veteran Glenn Hynes had his best performance since his return from Dublin, contributing 13 points, five steals, four fouls, and numerous other valuable contributions, while 17-years-old Dylan Cunningham gave a true senior performance, delivering on the promise shown as a underage star.
