Final – UCD Marian 62 Black Amber Templeogue 68
Templeogue won their second Cup Final in three years and added to their U18 Cup win earlier in the day by beating UCD Marian 62-68 in a close encounter. Defence was key in the first Quarter as the teams gave up just 27% of 33 shots. Luke Thompsons three pointer gave Templeogue an early lead, however, UCD Marian scored 21 points in the second quarter to draw close but Baolach Morrisson put Templeogue 50-45 up at the half with a crucial three-pointer. Conor Meany, a graduate of their Youth Programme, proved instrumental in bringing UCD Marian back within three points with less than three minutes on the clock, but two vital steals from Michael Bonaparte ensured the win for Templeogue. MVP Lorcan Murphy top-scored on 23 points as Templeogue hung on to defeat their South Dublin rivals.
