EJ Sligo All-Stars are one victory away from a return to basketball’s Superleague next season.
Shane O’Meara’s side host IT Carlow in Saturday night’s men’s Division 1 semi-final at the Mercy College Gym.
Victory will assure the All-Stars of a place in top flight domestic basketball next season – and the sport’s governing body here, Basketball Ireland, confirmed that two teams will be promoted to the Superleague next season via the Division 1 end-of-season play-offs.
Sligo secured their place in Saturday evening’s semi-final following a hardfought 91-86 quarter-final victory over Fr Matthew’s of Cork last weekend.
Tip-off at the Mercy College gym this Saturday night is 7:30pm.
The second Division 1 play-off semi-final between UCC Demons and Grand Hotel Malahide takes place in Cork on Sunday afternoon.
