Giant-killing Elks still work in progress, says Brennan

ULSTER ELKS coach, Deirdre Brennan, is confident the students are capable of pulling off another big shock when they face UCD Marian in the semi-final of the Super League National Cup at Neptune Stadium tomorrow afternoon.

Elks, comprised predominantly of UUJ students, caused a major upset when they dumped neighbours Belfast Star out of the Cup and followed that up with a shock defeat of DCU Saints, one of the most decorated sides in Irish basketball, in the Super League and tomorrow they will contest a national cup semi-final for the first time in the history of the club.

Coach Brennan starred with Sporting Belfast during her playing days and her husband, Gareth Maguire, is a former Irish international who played in five semi-finals and four finals with Star.
