McCarthy wary ahead of derby duel

EXPECT passion to rule when UCC Demons entertain Cork City rivals, Neptune, in the first derby game of the season at the Mardyke Arena tonight (8pm).

Demons got their SuperLeague campaign under way with a win over Star in Belfast last weekend and Neptune did what was always expected of them against Ulster Elks at Neptune Stadium.

But Neptune coach, Stephen McCarthy, knows only too well from his playing career that the form book is thrown out the window when it comes to a derby game.
