There is little doubt the performance of the cup weekend goes to Ballincollig whose display in their 104-77 win over Tralee Warriors will rank as one of the best at basketball headquarters. Ballincollig treated us to the greatest exhibition of three-point shooting in National Basketball Arena history in the opening quarter of this Men\u2019s National Cup final on Saturday night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And it continued all night. Tralee were all at sea, and I\u2019m not sure any team could have handled this assault from three-point land by Ciaran O\u2019Sullivan\u2019s side. They ended up losing 104-77.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

American Latrell Jossell was incredible \u2013 hitting six three pointers from seven attempts. Keelan Cairns hit two, while Joshua Steel also added two as Ballincollig went 10 from 15, a massive 67 % from behind the three-point arc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The opening quarter shooting display from Latrell Jossell was off the charts shooting an incredible six three pointers in a 10- minute period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indeed, the overall Ballincollig display was terrific with Irish players Adrian O\u2019Sullivan, Ciaran O\u2019Sullivan, Keelan Cairns and Dylan Corkery all putting in huge shifts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Congratulations to all concerned within the club and not forgetting their loyal fans who made it a carnival atmosphere on a memorable evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What a performance. What a win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
