The 2nd Year Basketball team sealed their place in the Dublin Premier League final today with a fantastic 27-14 win over Maryfield.
The girls showed great resilience to overcome an early deficit to take a narrow lead into half-time, with strong play from Aoife Fallon, Hazel Kenny, Anna Power & Ciara Crumlish.
Neither side could pull away in the 3rd Quarter, some sharp shooting from Hazel O'Leary & Liana Buckley helped DCGA take a 13-8 lead into the final period.
With a place in the final on the line, DCGA came out with a higher intensity that Maryfield struggled to cope with. An outstanding performance from Orlaith Monaghan saw her score 10 of her 12 points in the 4th Quarter, and with additional baskets from Rachel Conway & Kate Carthy, DCGA booked their place in the final.
