Neptune boss McCarthy set for derby cracker

IT MAY be just the halfway point of the NIVEA for MEN SuperLeague but tomorrow afternoon’s derby game between Neptune and UCD Demons at Neptune Stadium (3pm) is among the biggest games of the season.

The sides have already met in the current competition but that was with just one game gone.

That game at The Mardyke arena resulted in a rout that sent Neptune coach Stephen McCarthy, rushing back to the drawing board with the general feeling that it might be a season too soon for Neptune despite the fact that the squad, while young, had a lot of SuperLeague experience behind them.
