Yesterday the team traveled to Carlow IT to play against the local team. Things started off badly as DKITs coach was held up due to unforeseen circumstances and coaching duties were passed to one of the players.
The team started off positively taking an early lead and at the end of the 1st quarter both teams were level at 18 points all. 2nd quarter was more tit for tat with excellent displays from Kevin Lacey, Big John, Eugeneo Sam and Neo. Dundalk went in to the half time down only by a point. Confidence was high in the dressing room at half time and Dundalk took the court again.
Things started to go a bit wrong as fatigue started to set in. Good work in the third quarter from Mason, Richie Ojo and Matthias kept the deficit at the end of the 3rd quarter to 8 points. At the beginning of the fourth quarter it became clear that Carlow wanted it more as the shots they had been threatening the entire game started to go in. As their lead increased the Dundalk heads went down and the Carlow IT came out deserved winners.
Overall though, it was Dundalk heads going that ultimately cost the game. The game was their to be one but slowly the self belief went out the window.
I don't think Carlow won the game, I think it was more a case that DKIT lost the game. That is something we can't allow to happen again.
