Tralee Warriors — Belfast: 82:73, Super League

Tralloe Warriors defeated Belfast 82:73 on 2026-10-03 in the Superleague. The home side secured the victory at their own court, bringing an end to a difficult run of results. It was a straightforward affair where the home advantage played its part.

By then, Belfast sat third in the table with sixteen wins against six defeats. The home team trailed in fifth place with ten victories and twelve losses. We had backed the visitors to take the points, offering 52 percent confidence in a guest win. The forecast did not come true, though the reason was not lack of effort from either side.

And here's the thing about the visitors' recent form. They had conceded 112 points in a loss to Ballincollig and 93 to Killuster. Their defence looked open, allowing Tralloe to find rhythm. To be fair, the hosts had also struggled, losing four of their last five outings before beating KCYMS 91:90.

The home side kept their composure when it mattered most. They scored 82 points, which proved sufficient to close the gap on the teams above them. The visitors failed to maintain the defensive discipline shown in their earlier games.

Belfast will now have to look inward after dropping points at home. The result keeps them in the hunt for the top spots, but the defensive issues are visible. Tralloe moves closer to the mid-table pack, proving that consistency can beat reputation.
