The Limerick Celtics Men’s team travelled to Sligo yesterday where they faced the Ej Sligo All-Stars in a thrilling, high scoring battle in the National League.
Sligo led early on, but a huge push from the Celtics in the fourth quarter – thanks to a stunning 53 point game from Kevin Oberweiser – saw them take the lead with just over one minute to go as they pushed on to a dazzling 110-115 point victory at the final buzzer.
Despite finishing with just four players on the floor the Celtics put in a stellar team performance with each player adding vital scores to help secure a crucial away win for the Limerick side.
Top Scorers yesterday in Sligo were Kevin Oberweiser (53 points), Carlos Hortelano (24 points) and Egidijus Baksys (15 points).
