Basketball Ireland Super League Preview: November 3 - 6

It’s back to Super League action this weekend and all eyes are on Cork this evening [Thursday] as Singleton SuperValu Brunell prepare for their first home game of the season, which sees them up against local rivals and League leaders, Ambassador UCC Glanmire.

Brunell are chasing their first win of the season following losses to Courtyard Liffey Celtics, DCU Mercy and NUIG Mystics and will welcome back Canadian pro Kaylee Kilpatrick tonight, after she sustained a pre-season shoulder injury six weeks’ ago.

“We’ve had a challenging start to the season,” acknowledged Head Coach, Francis O’Sullivan. “We know tonight will be challenging – it’s Glanmire - they’re playing well and of course, there’s some local rivalry as Brunell have never beaten them in a National League game - but that day has to come and we’re looking forward to it.”
