UCC Glanmire adds Melia to formidable-looking roster for new season

Irish international Claire Melia has joined Mark Scannell's Superleague outfit, deepening an already strong-looking roster

Up there: Glanmire's Superleague roster is strong enough for them to be considered pre-season favourites for the Women's Superleague. The campaign kicks off this weekend. 

Mark Scannell’s Glanmire has put down a significant Superleague marker ahead of the new Basketball season with confirmation the Cork club has recruited Irish international starlet Claire Melia.

Coming hard on the heels of Monday’s triple boost with the retention of League MVP Shrita Parker, the return from Maree of Ireland’s Claire Rockall and the recruitment of American Anna Hayton from the University of Charleston in West Virginia, Melia’s arrival could be a season-shaper for Scannell and Glanmire.
