Harlequins star Gash vows to put friendship aside in pursuit of Cup glory

IT is more than a little ironic that Cork Harlequins ace striker Richard Gash and Cork Church of Ireland’s Mark Ruddle are best friends.

Their friendship will be put to one side Saturday when the two clash in the fourth round of the Irish Senior Cup at Garryduff.

“There is always a bit of slagging when we play each other as to who is going to be scoring and who is going to be saving. Saturday won’t be any different,’’ Gash admits.
