The word is consistency. Remarkable consistency. Once again Mark Scannell has guided The Address UCC Glanmire to national success as they completed a National Cup and Super League double with an 88-77 win Saturday over DCU Mercy in the MissQuote.ie Champions Trophy final in Tallaght.

Scannell hailed the double as “incredible for the club”, which has bounced back from an unsettled period to reaffirm itself as the premier outfit in women’s basketball. Brittany Byrd deservedly claimed the MVP after scoring 33 points, getting five assists and six rebounds for the victors.
