Fans hoping to see Scott’s Lakers St Paul’s Basketball Club’s first home game of 2022 were left disappointed after the match got called off at the last minute.

The home-side were due to play IT Carlow on Saturday night but COVID-19 concerns within the Leinster side have forced to cancellation of the game.

“The Covid curse has struck Carlow so this game is now postponed,” said St Paul’s PRO Enda Walshe.

“We tried to move a few fixtures around to see could we bring forward another home game and play it this weekend but to no avail.”

Saturday’s match was supposed to be the first of three home fixtures in a row as the local side face Fr Matthew’s on the last weekend in January and Waterford IT Vikings on the opening weekend in February.
