Nugent confident UL will prevail

BEFORE the semi-finals two weeks ago, few would have predicted Team Montenotte Hotel from Glanmire would challenge UL Aughinish for the national cup title.

The teams are poles apart in the Women’s SuperLeague with UL streaking ahead at the top of the table and the Cork girls languishing second from the bottom.

On their respective semi-final performances UL Aughinish go into tomorrow’s televised final as the overwhelming favourites. They beat Bausch & Lomb Wildcats 84-62 in a free flowing final while Glanmire upset the odds when they beat DCU Mercy 46-45 in a comparatively dour affair.
