Price and Nugent desperate for points

COACHES Pat Price and Jim Nugent insist they are putting points before passion when Mardyke UCC Demons and Neptune clash in tonight’s Cork derby SuperLeague game at The Mardyke Arena (8.15pm).

Neither club can afford to lose as each of them has with just one victory from their four games. Last weekend both lost to Waterford Crystal in games they were expected to win. Neptune played poorly against Crystal, but the Waterford side played out of their skins in an overtime thriller against Demons.

"Let's give credit to Waterford. They were the better team," Pat Price said as he reflected on Demons' loss. "We can do better. We are coming along, Patrick Pope is settling in with the team and our results are going to improve.
