Neptune to parade new recruits

STEPHEN McCARTHY will parade his new-look Neptune side before the home fans when the new basketball season tips off in Cork tomorrow night.

The former international worked miracles overnight when he was cajoled into taking over the coaching duties last season, having just months earlier been a star player with the club.

Neptune, reeling from a few stunning if close losses in the Nivea for Men Superleague, were desperately in need of a boost and that is exactly what he provided as they picked themselves up and shot back up to the business end of the table.
