The Lions Men\u2019s team had a mix of experience and youth on its side and was well coached by Jason Barry.<br \/>The Lion\u2019s team went into the final on Sunday on a winning streak, having beaten off challenges from a strong Warriors side, Limerick Lakers and Shannon Jets to name a few.<br \/>Lions met Limerick Celtics in the final and the game went basket for basket in the first quarter. But by half-time the score line had increased to 30-26 in Lions favour.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-4a6d983\" data-id=\"4a6d983\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6b9bf7c elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"6b9bf7c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"506\" height=\"431\" src=\"https:\/\/limericklions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Noth-Munster-Basketball-Final-Limerick-Lions-Men-Team.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-920\" alt=\"North Munster Basketball Final Limerick Lions Men Team\" srcset=\"https:\/\/limericklions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Noth-Munster-Basketball-Final-Limerick-Lions-Men-Team.png 506w, https:\/\/limericklions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Noth-Munster-Basketball-Final-Limerick-Lions-Men-Team-300x256.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 506px) 100vw, 506px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-3f96f18 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"3f96f18\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-7556d1f\" data-id=\"7556d1f\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-189506f elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"189506f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"505\" height=\"629\" src=\"https:\/\/limericklions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/North-Munster-Basketball-Finals.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-925\" alt=\"North Munster Basketball Finals\" srcset=\"https:\/\/limericklions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/North-Munster-Basketball-Finals.jpg 505w, https:\/\/limericklions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/North-Munster-Basketball-Finals-241x300.jpg 241w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 505px) 100vw, 505px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-b2cdb36\" data-id=\"b2cdb36\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7ae96d7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7ae96d7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Despite some good strong baskets from Ruairi Cronin for Celtics, it wasn\u2019t enough to stop the scoring machines of Ajay Ryan Walsh, David McCarthy and Jakub Czuba.
