Glanmire on brink of greatness

TEAM Montenotte Hotel Cork will go down in the history books as one of the great teams in Irish basketball if they succeed in winning their third women’s National Cup in-a-row on Sunday.

To achieve that distinction they must defeat last year’s beaten finalists, Bausch and Lomb Wildcats from Waterford, and coach Mark Scannell is well aware of how difficult that is going to be.

Last year defiant Wildcats took the Glanmire team to the very edge before going under 78-77 points to 77 in a thriller and Scannell is prepared for more of the same.
