Newly-crowned MissQuote.ie Super League champions Pyrobel Killester weathered a huge test by Gurranabraher Credit Union Brunell to record a 91-85 victory over their Cork rivals in Clontarf on Saturday night and book their spot in this season’s Champions Trophy decider.

Trailing by seven heading into the final quarter, Brunell fought their way back to level terms with just over six minutes remaining, but the Dubliners held firm as Claire Melia, Jiselle Thomas and Michelle Clarke drained a combined 10 from the free-throw line down the stretch.
