A great first game for both these teams finishing with just a point between them. Old Leighlin made the better start and were leading 14-8 at the end of the first. A much stronger 2nd by Tipp Titans saw them go in the happier side at half time with a one point lead. Tipp again outscored Old Leighlin in the third 11-7 and had a five point lead going into the 4th. Free throws were the first points scored for both teams in the fourth and with Tipp tiring Old Leighlin took advantage of some gaps in defence and went on to score 18 points in the last against Tipps 12 to take a one point win . Both side gave away too many free throws for comfort in the 4th and the last play of the game saw Tipp on the free throw line where they were unlucky not to draw the game. Judging by this game the next meeting of these teams should be another epic battle .
