It was a close one in Galway as Maree and Moycullen went head-to-head in their big derby clash. Moycullen had the better of the opening half, with Grant Olsson and Dylan Cunningham leading the charge to see them into a 38-43 point half-time lead. A big push in the third from Maree though, led by Darin Johnson and Orioles Balsells Plaza saw Maree edge in front 63-59 going into the last quarter, and they pushed on to win out 87-79 in the end.
Over in the Women’s Super League, Ambassador UCC Glanmire picked up an important win at home on Saturday evening as they ran out 10-point winners over Maree in Cork, 72-62. Nothing separated the sides in the opening half, with Claire Rockall dominating for the visitors early on and some well-worked scores for Glanmire at the other end seeing it tied at 37 points apiece at the half. Huge performances from Casey Grace and Tatum Neubert for Glanmire would ultimately prove to be the difference though, as they combined on the night for 42 points to lead Mark Scannell’s charges home to a key victory and move them back into second place in the table.
Speaking afterwards, Coach Scannell stated: “That was a really tough game. Our defense got us over the line and we made some big shots down the stretch. It was a very important win, a great team win and it keeps us in touch.”
