Glanmire facing old favourite Alford in cup clash with Killester
Glanmire released their first American signing Alexis Eckles (who has since signed for IT Carlow) with coach Mark Scannell replacing her with Adili Martucci who is a graduate of Quinnipiac University. Martucci made her debut against Brunell on Sunday — hours after arriving in Ireland.
Ironically, Killester signed the former Glanmire American Chantelle Alford during the summer and it will be interesting to see how coach Scannell attempts to nullify her threat. Scannell admitted: “Chantelle is a class player and we will have to restrict her getting the ball and that will be a challenge for my players. On every occasion we have played Killester over the years it’s been a tough test as they seem to raise their game and it’s a case of being ready to play.”
