Formidable Glanmire take a shot at history

Team Ambassador UCC Glanmire are chasing basketball history tomorrow night as the curtain comes down on another sensational season for the Cork giants.

Victory over Liffey Celtics in Letterkenny will seal a fourth Super League title in a row to match their four consecutive Cup crowns. No side has achieved that feat but Glanmire coach Mark Scannell is confident his side can handle the pressure against their Dublin opponents.

He reasoned: “The plaudits will always go to my players because having a hunger for success cannot be coached and I am very lucky to be part of an incredibly dedicated squad.We have played them three times and won twice but this could be the trickiest game. They have finished second in the regular season and runners-up in the cup and it’s fitting they are the side standing between us and completing the four-timer.”
