Maree remain second in the Women’s Super League table thanks
to a 58-72 point win over IT Carlow Basketball on the road. A tight opening
half saw nothing much between the teams in the early exchanges, with Maree
leading 14-19 at the end of the first. A big push from both sides in the second
quarter saw some quality scores from Carlow’s Alyssa Velles and Kaitlyn Slagus,
but these were responded to at the other end, with Claire Rockall leading the
charge for the visitors to lead 31-40 at the half. The sides remained in
touching distance throughout the second half, with Slagus and Velles dominating
for the hosts, but Rockall, Fiona Scally and Carly McClendon put up some good
scores to keep Maree in front, and they ran out 58-72 point winners in the end.

It took overtime to separate Maree and Abbey Seals Dublin
Lions. Maree and Lions finished on 76 points apiece at full time after a
ding-dong battle. Lions led the game for three of the four quarters, with
Ramonn Nelson and Conroy Baltimore two of the stand outs, but Maree were always
right there with them throughout and dug deep in the fourth quarter to level
the game up, with Darin Johnson, Kenneth Hansberry and Eoin Rockall all getting
some key scores. The overtime period was just as thrilling, with Rockall and
Hansberry key to Maree’s win in the end, 87-84.
Keane’s SuperValu Killorglin and Moycullen dished up a thriller
in Kerry on Saturday evening, with the hosts just pipping it at the death,
87-84. It was an extremely close game throughout, with Grant Olsson chipping in
with a 32-point game for the visitors. Allan Thomas was the standout for
Killorglin on the night though, finishing the game with 28 points, and was also
on hand to hit the game-winning three pointer in the closing seconds.

NUIG Mystics also won out at home on Saturday evening,
overcoming UL Huskies 80-72 in a cagey affair. Good work from Ailish O’Reilly,
Aoife O’Malley and Rebecca Carmody was the difference for Mystics on the night,
as they held firm in the face of big pressure from Summer King and Orlaith
Woods of Huskies to hold out to win.
