Demons ready for Tigers challenge
The confidence-injection of their Cup victory over UCD Marian helped offset the loss of Shane Coughlan to injury (sidelined until late December), and boosted the self belief of young guns like Niall Murphy and Carlton Cuffe, who have stepped into prominent roles and have not disappointed. Combined with strong post play by Michael Plichta, the Cork side are looking for the same momentum that inspired last year’s successful campaign.
Demons will take on Tigers tonight at the Mardyke Arena (8:15). The Tigers were very impressive in their Cup win over Killarney last weekend, and Demons Coach Pat Price knows his side face a major challenge: “Tralee has strength in every area of the court, and Wilder Auguste is a very imposing presence for them,” said Price.
