Greene hits nine 3PTs as Lakers confirm playoffs spot

Published

A remarkable shooting display from team captain Mark Greene helped the Scotts Lakers to an impressive 105-86 victory over Tolka Rovers on Saturday night as the Killarney side officially confirmed their spot in the 2019 National League Playoffs.

Greene shot an incredible seven three-pointers in the first half alone and with Englishman Dailian Mason also on song from long range, the hosts quickly built up a commanding lead.

At half-time, fans speculated that Greene could be on course to break the Irish record for threes in a game (unconfirmed reports suggest that 11 is the most), but the skipper added “just” two more in the second half before checking out of the game late in the fourth quarter.

It mattered little as Cormac O’Donoghue’s side coasted to an impressive victory against a decent Tolka Rovers outfit who are currently fourth in the north.

This result coupled with IT Carlow’s defeat means that the Lakers are now guaranteed a top two finish in the Southern Conference. Once the regular season is finished (just two games remain), they will face Northern Conference leaders DBS Éanna away in the semi-final. Beating the 21-0 Dubliners will be a tall order but if Greene shoots the ball like he did on Saturday night, anything can happen.

Lakers’ top scorers: Mark Greene (29), Dailian Mason (21), Papito Hersisia (21) and Seán O’Brien (17).

The Dóchas Drama Group will run a series of short plays at the Muckross Schoolhouse from December 5 to 7.

The group’s annual performance has been switched to the Muckross venue as its traditional base – the ballroom in the Killarney Avenue Hotel is being refurbished.

“If you are fed up with the incessant rain and constant bad news. Do you need a break? Are tired of listening to advice about your Christmas cake recipe? There is a perfect solution,” said the group’s Liz Ryan.

“We will present six short plays and some of the questions you may ask yourself are: 

“Why is Jane suddenly so honest?

“What did happen on December 9. Will Tiffany be promoted? Will Mags eventually find love?

“Can lost love be re-kindled? What do grandparents get up to when they’re babysitting?

For answers to these questions and more, come along to Muckross Schoolhouse on December 5, 6 and 7.”
