Falcons soar to easy victory

Longford PV’s Falcons 76 Team Blarney Park 58

Forde, who ended a decade-long retirement, scored 27 points for the Donoughmore side but they were no match for Falcons who had MVP Alison Smyth, Linda McKeon and Claudia Louis in spectacular form at the post.

Falcons had seven points on the scoreboard before Team Blarney Park found their bearings after five and a half minutes when Forde hit the first of her six three-pointers. It mattered little. Falcons built up a first quarter lead of 26-9.
