FLOMAX LIFFEY CELTICS beat Killester 65-53 to secure their second Paudie O’Connor National Cup title at the National Basketball Arena on Sunday.
FloMAX Liffey Celtic’s Irish internationals clicked into gear in the second quarter, a Rachel Huisjdens two-point jump shot and a Finn layup nudged the County Kidare outfit 17-14 in front early on. Next up was Sorcha Tiernan, who landed a three with three minutes gone, to put Karl Kilbride’s 20-16 up. Tiernan was also linking up well with Huisjdens, she picked her out in the paint and a layup from the former DCU Mercy player had FloMAX Liffey Celtics 26-18 ahead at the quarter midpoint.
Killester picked up the next score thanks to Sarah Courtney’s three, but their comeback hopes suffered a major blow when they lost Bagdanviciene, the Lithuanian rolled her ankle and had to be carried off.
