Brunell look to build on momentum created by first-leg surge

Singleton’s Supervalu Brunell have their sights on a first ever women’s Premier league final when they travel to play DCU Mercy on Sunday’s semi-final second leg.

The Cork side take a three-point lead into the the game, despite trailing by 12 points entering the final quarter of the first leg. But Brunell outscored their opponents 21-6 coming down the stretch, a surge that is sure to give them confidence going into this game.

“To be honest I have never coached a side that played so badly for three quarters and ended up winning,” said Brunell coach Kieran O’Leary. “But I am hoping our last quarter performance will give us the lift we need to win this game.”
