Hazel Finn has enjoyed life since moving to Trinity and continued her good form leading Meteors to a 63-53 triumph over Utility Trust St. Pauls Killarney. Meteors went in front early in the first quarter and never surrendered it from there on out. The victory moves Trinity Meteors ahead of Utility Trust St. Pauls Killarney into second place at 4-1 and it also hands Killarney their first loss of the season as they end the weekend in third place.

There was a sole fixture for viewing on Sunday this weekend with SETU Waterford Wildcats getting to a positive 3-2 record on the season with a 79-75 win at UCC Glanmire. Irish international Sarah Hickey continued her stellar form this season with a 28-point and nine rebound performance accompanied by an 18-point and 18 rebound showing from Tiarra Brown to get the victory in a back and forth game where teams were tied up on five separate occasions. For Glanmire, Viane Cumber and Jewel Watkins both had 20+ point games but it ultimately fell short for Glanmire as they fall to 2-3 and are left in seventh place after the game.
