Neptune continue to rise

Energywise Neptune gave another indication of why they could still very well be the team to beat this season as they beat a short-handed Killester team 100-74. After trailing by ten early on, Neptune’s pace and variety of offensive options overpowered one of the Northern Conference’s better teams.

With 6.40 to go in the second quarter Neptune hadn’t scored for over three minutes after a blistering opening quarter but that changed rapidly as the Leesiders scored 34 points in less than seven minutes to end the first half on 68. Tarkus Ferguson came to life hitting five of Neptune’s 12 first half threes and Killester were simply unable to keep up. With four wins out of five in 2023 in the league, Colin O’Reilly looks like he has his team poised for a big playoff push.
