Welcome to DCU...

I am personally delighted with this new partnership of DCU and Mercy Basketball Club. I believe that it will be a mutually beneficial relationship and the ultimate benefactors will be the PLAYERS.

In line with the DCU Strategic plan for sport it is our intention to support players by providing an environment of world class facilities such as the championship court, high performance gym, pool, ice baths and the expertise on campus to help the players reach their full potential.

Student education is the primary focus for DCU and we believe that this allicance between DCU and Mercy enables players to pursue their academic qualifications and at the same time avail of top class coaching and a clear pathway from varsity level right through to Superleague.

Ladies Basketball is now one of our four core sports here in DCU and this year alone we have given 80% of our sports scholarships to our core sports. With the development of facilities here in DCU Sport and the tremendous experience and commitment of Coach Mark Ingle, I believe we have a recipe for success both in varsity competition and National league.

Finally, I look forward to the season ahead and wish all DCU Mercy players and fans every success.

Go Devils!
