Scannell’s Glanmire bidding to complete double

The Cork outfit — bidding for a third league and cup double — had a sluggish start to the campaign but found their form after Christmas with a stunning run in all competitions. Coach Mark Scannell admitted: “The opening months were difficult. Injuries hampered us but credit to the teams that defeated us, as we have no right to win every game.”
DCU Mercy defeated them twice in the regular season and Scannell hopes that run doesn’t continue in the showpiece.
