It’s only a matter of months since Brittany Byrd signed a contract to play with The Address UCC Glanmire for the upcoming MissQuote.ie Super League season. The job of bringing her here goes back much further than that.

The way Byrd tells it, the club has been fluttering its eyes at her since before the pandemic. Jordan Blount, now back in Cork with C&S Neptune, is a fellow UIC Flames graduate and he was a sounding board as she picked up grains of knowledge about the club, the city and the style of basketball.
