BASKETBALL: Huskies hit the heights again

“We are defending champions,” UL guard Louise Galvin put it cooly after the final whistle. “They beat us before Christmas but before that we had a sort of a stranglehold on the league and cup so we had a lot of confidence in ourselves.”
Huskies certainly started the game like a team that had been there before. With Rachel Vanderwal pushing the fastbreak and running mates Rachel Clancy and Louise Galvin beside her, the women from Limerick exploded out of the blocks and quickly established an 8-2 lead.
