Limerick Eagles defeated DCU Saints 117-78 in the Super League on October 3rd, 2026. The visitors made no mistake from the opening tip-off and never looked back. By then the margin had stretched beyond what a comeback could touch.
Thirty-nine points separated the sides by the final whistle. To be fair, the Eagles controlled the tempo from the first period, while the Saints camped in their own half for most of the game. The home side paid for a sloppy opening that set the tone for everything that followed.
DCU Saints now sit seventh in the standings after 22 games. They have ten wins and twelve losses, with no draws to complicate the picture. The defeat stretches their recent run of poor form — their last five matches show just one victory against Neptune on February 21st.
Those recent results tell a story of inconsistency. A 121-114 win over Neptune stands out as the only bright spot in what has been a difficult stretch. The other four games all ended in defeat, with losses to Killuster, UKK Demons, and USI D Marian adding to the tally.
Limerick Eagles move closer to the upper half with this convincing performance. The Saints, meanwhile, have work to do if they want to climb out of seventh place. Cup football has its own rules, but this league table does not make excuses.
