Report

_____________________________________________________

Final: Pyrobel Killester 54 St. Mary’s Castleisland 71

St. Mary’s dominated this game from the start behind the superb shooting of Denise Dunlea and gritty defence. They were 21-10 up at the end of the first quarter, and despite great shooting from Ali Connelly, Catriona White and Niamh O’Donovan for Killester, they were 19-points up at half-time (41-24), a lead they would hold onto for the rest of the match, ending the third quarter 58-38 ahead, and the final whistle blew with Castleisland 71-54 winners. Denise Dunlea won the MVP award for her dominant display on both sides of the court, and could not have done without a superb team effort backing her up. [3]

Final: Blue Demons 82 Leixlip Zalgiris 60

Blue Demons game plan of forcing Leixlip out wide and into taking mid-range shots worked, as Zalgiris’ shots would not drop into the basket for them. The match started at a fast pace, and with MVP Liam Carmody proving invaluable on both offense and defence the Blue Demons were 22-17 up at the end of the first quarter. Eight points in the first minute of the second from the Blue Demons forced Leixlip into an early time out to steady the players, and the match remained close until the third quarter, with Blue Demons going in 16 points to the good at half-time. The Blue Demons would eventually build up a 77-51 lead, before closing out the match 82-69 winners, to retain the National Intermediate Cup Competition. Ryan murphy’s fast break at the end of the first quarter and Shane McCarthy’s accurate shooting at the start of the second gave the Cork side the cushion they would keep for the rest of the game, despite the best efforts of Romas Eidukas, Marius Kasperavicius and Kestutis Damulevicius for Zalgiris.

Final: Fr. Mathews 55 Meteors 45

A comeback wat the end of the third quarter ensured a first title for Cork’s Fr. Mathews. Both sides took time to get into the game and scoring was low. Meteors got off to a start first, opening up an 8-2 lead in the first quarter, however, a huge three-pointer from Emma Gallagher saw Fr. Mathews close the gap and get into their stride. another three-pointe, this time from Olivia Dupuy, saw a seven point gap 36 seconds earlier close to just one. meteors once again built an eight-point lead in the third before Niamh Dwyer’s scoring turned the game into a ten-point Fr. Mathews lead, one they would hold on to for what Dwyer said was an”absolutely massive” win for the club.[3]
