The Pat Duffy Cup Final at the National Basketball Arena tips-off at 8pm and the big match is being broadcast live on TG4.
38-year-old Mark told his team he planned to call time on his basketball career after last season but a plea from club coach Darren McGovern made the Longford native change his mind.
Standing tall at 6ft 6in, Reynolds’ basketball career continues almost 16 years since a British Universities title win with a combined Scottish Colleges side led him to a professional contract in Germany.
Attached to Ballyboden St Enda’s GAA, the Eanna basketballers beat local side Ballincollig in the semi-finals at Neptune Stadium in Cork on Saturday last with Reynolds playing a starring role in shooting a total of 18 points in the 77-71 victory.
Mark Reynolds was a member of the Longford senior football squad along with his brother Philip during the Glenn Ryan regime. The boys mother Noreen (nee Glennon) hails from Dublin Road in Longford town.
