MAX IS A REAL STAR

SPOILS: Adrian Fulton

THE Men’s InsureMyVa­n.ie Super League provided great action over the weekend, especially the clash of champions Belfast Star and Killester in Clontarf.

Adrian Fulton’s side took the spoils with five seconds left with a three- pointer from Max Cooper after the home side led by nine.

“It was a gutsy performanc­e rather than a high quality one from us” said Fulton after the 73-72 win.

“It feels like a bit of a steal but we are delighted.”

His opposite number Brian O’Malley was bitterly disappoint­ed.

“To throw away a nine- point lead again in the fourth quarter is unforgivea­ble,” said opposite number

Brian O’Malley, “but you have to say Cooper’s winning basket was amazing.”
