Coach talks up Glanmire’s chances of shocking hot favourites UL

FOR three seasons UL Aughinish have ruled Irish women’s basketball with an iron fist. For that reason they remain hot favourites tonight as their defence of the National Cup gets underway against Vienna Woods Glanmire at the ESB Arena.

The Limerick side, which is led by Michelle Aspell, have not lost a game since November 2002 but the Vienna Woods Glanmire coach, Sean O’Regan, feels that his team are ready to put an end to that amazing run.

“It has to end some time and maybe we can do it,” said the former world kick boxing champion who fought the legendary Cuban Olympian Felix Savon back in the early 1990s.
