Neptune in vital meeting with Saints

FESTIVE goodwill is in plentiful supply in Cork this weekend. On Sunday, Neptune are offering free admission to everyone for their meeting with Irish Travel Partner Saints (St Vincent’s) in the ESB SuperLeague at Neptune Stadium.

For both this is probably one of the most important games of the season, a fact highlighted by Neptune coach, Martin Aherne, who said they have to win the game if they are to avoid any kind of crisis in the new year.

"There is a lot at stake for both of us," he said. "We got off the hook last weekend when we lost to Marian and BurgerKing did us a favour by beating Star in Limerick. But we cannot be depending on other teams to do us favours."
