Neptune health warning for Horan’s in cup clash

Table toppers, Horan’s Health Stores Tigers, face a tough assignment in their opening game in the ESB National Cup when they host the SuperLeague champions, Neptune, at the Tralee Sports Centre on the weekend of December 5-7.

Defending champions, Mardyke UCC Demons, should have a relatively easy task against Divison One side, Queens, at the Mardyke Arena.

Yesterday’s draw also left last year’s runners-up, Star of the Sea, with a tough opener against St. Vincent’s a set up a Dublin derby game between Hibernian UCD Marian and Killester.
