Tigers and Demons in big Cup clash

DEFENDING Cup champions Abrakebabra Tigers will meet reigning SuperLeague champions, UCC Demons in the quarter-final of the Men’s National Cup.

Yesterday’s pairing is undoubtedly the tie of the round, and there was understandable relief among the other survivors that they had avoided the favourites in the last eight.

The sides have already met twice this year in the SuperLeague and Demons, who are unbeaten in the competition, won both ties. And they are scheduled to meet again in the SuperLeague the weekend before the Cup game - also in Tralee.
