SETU Waterford Wildcats will have the chance to draw level with FloMAX Liffey Celtics at the summit of the Women’s Super League on Saturday evening as the unbeaten league leaders make the trip to the South East.
It’s FloMAX Liffey Celtics third road trip to start the season, having already picked up wins in Killarney and Portlaoise to go with last weekend’s 77-65 win over Trinity Meteors in Leixlip.
The home side held a 20-point advantage at one stage of the contest, before being pegged back in the closing quarter. “We’ve a lot more to come,” insisted head coach Karl Kilbride following his side’s 12 point win over Meteors and they’ll need to find that extra gear this weekend.
Wildcats have bounced back well from a narrow opening day defeat to Killester, dismantling Gurranabraher Credit Union Brunell, before a tense 69-65 win against The Address UCC Glanmire in week three.
Chelsea Cain really found her feet on the glass in that win, picking up nine offensive boards in her 21-rebound total. Should they make it three wins on the spin, Jillian Hayes’ team could finish the Bank Holiday weekend at the top of the table for the first time this season.
