Fr.Mathews will face FloMAX Liffey Celtics in the NICC Women’s National Cup Final following a pulsating 75-51 win over Killester at Parochial Hall on Saturday afternoon.

A game which had five lead changes in the opening half, it was the Cork side who took control after the interval through Niamh Dwyer and Amy Corkery. The duo sparkled in combining for 38 points. Killester proved stubborn opponents in a contest that included some great ball movement, as well as tough defence which gripped a packed crowd in North Cork City.
