We have a week off now but understand we have a lot of tough games coming up which we need to put some solid work in practice to be ready for."
In one of the most highly anticipated fixtures of the weekend, The Address UCC Glanmire narrowly beat Pyrobel Killester 77-71 at the Mardyke Arena.
The Address UCC Glanmire Head Coach, Mark Scannell was pleased with the win: "I'm very happy to get the win in a good, tough game of basketball today. The girls really prepared well this week and we always felt if we could keep them in the 70's we had a chance. I'm delighted that the whole team made very important contributions today. Back to the drawing board again this week to get ready for another tough game."
The weekend's other fixture saw Trinity Meteors move off the foot of the table by beating newly Portlaoise Panthers 92-69 in a difficult encounter for the away side.
