Limerick girls turn on the power

UL were crowned women’s cup champions following their comfortable win over DCU Mercy at the National Basketball Arena last night.

In a game that will best remembered for low scoring and turnovers, the Limerick side despite a slow start, always looked likely winners.

It was obvious in the opening exchanges that UL were rattled as DCU were playing hard woman-to-woman defence and it took them almost three minutes to score their opening basket, courtesy of Louise Galvin.
