Demons juniors are team to beat

MARDYKE UCC Demons are rated as one of the best junior teams ever to come out of Cork and if they cross paths with either the defending champions, Shamrock Rovers, or Dart Killester in the final of the ESB Men’s Junior Cup at the ESB Arena tomorrow night, then they could provide the game of the weekend.

The semi-final between Shamrock Rovers, coached by the legendary Anthony Jenkins, and Dart Killester will be a close call. The Hoops maybe slight favourites, even without players like Eoghan White, Ian O’Boyle, John Biggins and Eddie Crudden.

They have SuperLeague player Scott Kinevane in the line-up alongside Kevin O’Reilly, Michael McAuley and Ciaran White, all of whom also have SuperLeague minutes behind them, while Lennie McMillan and Brendan Clinkscales were very impressive against Hibernian UCD Marian.
