But a last-second basket from Irish International Jordan Blount ensured that Killorglin won 47- 30 and so denied Warriors a final meeting with Limerick Celtics on scoring difference. But Celtics and AJ Williams finished the half with a flourish, draining two threes to give his side the lead approaching the half-time buzzer as the sides retired on 25 apiece. Limerick Celtics still had another basket in the arsenal with Abdul Wurie draining a two-pointer and the lead with 20.9 seconds left. Then, from the free throw line, AJ Williams scored one from two to see his side three points clear, but Patrick Lanipekun scored a basket to close the gap to a single point. Forced to foul and only two seconds left, AJ Williams secured a Limerick Celtics win in a thriller.
