Gamefootage.net Titans 62-80 DBS Éanna 

Gamefootage.net Titans were once more the last team in action at the weekend, and were unlucky not to pip Northern conference leaders, DBS Eanna at the Jes on Sunday.

A big 26-point display from the hugely impressive Tom Rivard saw Titans up by one at the half time break (30-29) but Éanna put in a huge second half display with Stefan Zecevic and Conor Gallagher causing major trouble for the hosts, to see them win out 62-80 in the end.
