Jason Killeen is expected to feature for Templeogue for the first time this season in the Men's Premier League on Sunday. The league leaders are unbeaten in all competitions to date, with the 6ft 10in centre returning from a knee injury in time to face a resurgent DCU Saints.

Five men's Premier League games take place at the National Basketball Arena this weekend. SSE Airtricity Moycullen are hopeful of having American recruit Raheem Lemons cleared in time to face UCD Marian in the first game.

C&S UCC Demons play Pyrobel Killester in an Arena battle for outright second place on Saturday night before heading to Galway to play Moycullen on Sunday.

In the Women’s Premier League, Meteors are hoping to close the gap on leaders DCU Mercy. Mercy have a four-point cushion but have struggled since the loss of American point-guard Maleeka Kynard while in-form Meteors are in third place. Portlaoise Panthers host Pyrobel Killester while UL Huskies play Singleton SuperValu Brunell.
