Michael Bonaparte, how are your nerves?
Templeogue Basketball Club came from 11 down at half time to clinch the Men’s National Cup in a nerve-jangling finale in Dublin.
Swords Thunder were unlucky to fall at the wrong side of a classic clash that finished 78-75 in favour of a Bonaparte-inspired Templeogue.
With the game hanging in the balance in the last quarter, the game’s MVP sank four free throws in the dying seconds to keep the red vests agonisingly ahead of a GCD side that just refused to go away.
And look just what it meant to the players and supporters after what was a thrilling ending to a day of Hula Hoops Cup final action.
Templeogue BC, the 2016 Men’s National Cup champions.
