THE expected pairing for the Women’s SuperLeague National Cup final came together at the weekend when the raging hot favourites, UL, defeated former champions Montenotte Hotel Cork 71-59, and defending champions DCU Mercy, coasted to a 68-30 win over 11890 Killester in the other semi-final.

Star-studded UL see off brave Montenotte to earn final date with DCU

UL were pushed to the limit by a determined Montenotte Hotel Cork, all fired up by the decision to allow Rachel Clancy to play , having just returned from playing professionally in Spain.

Clancy, who also enjoyed a spell in the United States, landed three from four three-point attempts and ended up with 14 points after being sent on by UL coach James Weldon six minutes into the game. In that spell Montenotte had succeeded in tying up the UL captain, Rachael Vanderval, who is on the British squad for this year’s Olympic Games.
