DCU’s fine run continues as Meteors shown no mercy

Basketball: Women’s National Cup

DCU Mercy continued their recent fine form when they trounced fellow Dublin side Meteors 71-46 to set up a mouth-watering Women’s Premier National Cup semi-final against champions Team Montenotte.

Incredibly DCU had 65 points (170-105) to spare over two legs and coach Mark Ingle was thrilled with his charges. Ingle said: “We were underdogs going into this quarter-final but my players deserve all the plaudits for their performance over two legs. Facing champions Team Montenotte in the semi will be a huge challenge.”
