Cleveland Rockets Head Coach Breda Dicks Match Report:
Cleveland Rockets - Oblate Dynamos
91 - 61
"Following on from our 3 in a row wins the Cleveland Rockets were determined to make it 4 in a row.
Rockets got off to a great start leading 28 -15 at the end of the first quarter.
It was a very fast-paced game with Caitlin Glockener who moved to Belfast this year to study medicine finishing on 16 points from fast breaks and hitting several outside shots. Caitlin has been a great addition to Rockets this season. Anna Brennan and Charlie McGrath are key players for the Rockets with both girls contributing a total of 16 points between them.
Jessica Fairweather hitting 3 x 3’s in the first quarter led the scoring followed by Georgie McGrath scoring 14 points and taking numerous rebounds.
Aoibheann Donnelly who is playing her first season in the Women’s National League made a real impact when she came into the game scoring 3 points in the first quarter and an additional 5 in the second quarter.
Aisling Murray with her impressive defensive pressure put the Oblates guards under pressure throughout.
Eimile Rogers Duffy played an excellent game adding 5 points with Niamh O’Leary playing great defence on the Oblate posts and Maeve Deery’s strength on the boards and her 3-pointer helped secure the win.
This game has been great preparation for the Cup quarter final next Sunday 8th December’24 against I secure Swords in Dublin at 4.30pm."
