All conquering Glanmire still have one box left to tick

Brunell stand in the way of Glanmire completing a season treble with victory in this weeken's Champions Trophy final

The Address UCC Glanmire celebrate their Super League title last month.

For Edel Thornton, the pain of missing out on a Champions Trophy final hurts far more than the injury to her knee. Specifically, it hurts more than the grade-two medial collateral ligament tear she sustained while helping Singleton Supervalu Brunell into tomorrow’s showdown with The Address UCC Glanmire.

Thornton played a key role in Brunell’s semi-final win over WIT Waterford Wildcats last weekend, and while she knew something was seriously amiss in her knee during that game, the thought of walking off the court was never an option.
