Killester aiming to atone for final defeat

A DREADFUL run of four defeats in five has left UCD Marian’s Superleague play-off hopes out of their own hands as they prepare for a Dublin derby this weekend against 11890 Killester.

They need a win and their nearest rivals, Belfast Star, to lose both their games against Bord Gáis Neptune and Ulster Elks on the final weekend of the regular season.

The students created a huge shock by claiming the National Cup title at the expense of Killester in January but their form since then has left their hopes hanging by a thread.
