Lions aim to get claws into Demons

LIMERICK Lions are aiming for a hat-trick of away victories tomorrow night as they travel to Cork to play UCC Demons in the first round of the SuperLeague Men’s National Cup.

Back to back victories on the road their most recent a very impressive win over Merry Monk Ballina have earned Tom Hehir's side new respect and the Limerick coach will be looking for more of the same to launch their Cup campaign.

This year there is a escape route for teams beaten in the first round as all five will go into the second round along with MDS Star, who got a bye, to contest three places in the quarter-finals.
