Neptune, Demons chasing prize of home semi-finals

WITH UCC again hosting the climax to basketball's Nivea for Men SuperLeague, expect an extra spring in the step of Neptune and Mardyke UCC Demons as the quarter-finalists go head to head this weekend.

Tomorrow night Neptune travel to Dublin to renew rivalry with DART Killester, the long-time leaders of the Northern Conference, with a place in the semis the prize, while on Sunday, a packed Mardyke Arena will urge on Pat Price's Demons against UCD.

Neptune travel with the confidence of impressive recent performances against Ballina, Demons and Tigers under their belt.
