The defending Domino’s Women’s Super League champions Trinity Meteors will hope to begin their Domino’s WSL National Cup campaign with a home win, as they face last year's finalists and two-time winners FloMAX Liffey Celtics. Trinity Meteors fell short to FloMAX Liffey Celtics at the semi-final stage of last years’ Domino’s WSL National Cup, where Liffey Celtics came away 12-point winners.

Trinity Meteors currently sit in sixth place of the Domino’s Women’s Super League, with a 3-3 record. In their recent outing against Gurranabraher Credit Union Brunell, Trinity came away 87-72 winners, as Morgan Lenahan led the scoring with 23 points. Zayn Urbaniak- Dornstauder currently leads the Trinity scoring with 87 points, while Irish internationals Hazel Finn and Aisling Moran have combined for 135.

FloMAX Liffey Celtics recently defeated Trinity Meteors 73-55 in the Domino’s Women’s Super League, as they sit in fourth position. Hillary Netsiyanwa’s side started the season going 1-2; however, three wins in a row have helped flip the script and send them to the upper half of the table. Katie Williamson is only one point away from the 100-point mark in the Domino’s Women’s Super League, while Americans Brooke Kane and Nya Epps have secured 86 and 81 points respectively.
