Gráinne Dwyer: Glanmire dreaming of another double

Even with four senior women’s National Cup medals in her locker and two MVP awards from previous finals, Gráinne Dwyer still can’t get enough of “the biggest show in Irish basketball”.

The Irish international star is an integral part of the Team Ambassador UCC Glanmire side that will face Cork rivals Singleton’s SuperValu Brunell in the first senior women’s cup semi-final.

Dwyer was one of many people that had flu over the Christmas period but managed to get back training this week. She said: “I suppose basketball is a little bit like hurling when you haven’t touched a ball for a fortnight you get a little rusty and your first touch is that bit slower.”
