Demons seek cup redemption

FOR the first time in a long time UCC Demons found themselves on the receiving end last Sunday, when Hoops travelled down to Cork and dished out a surprise nine-point drubbing to collect their first Nivea for Men SuperLeague points of the season.

It is highly unlikely that result will have any major bearing on the proceedings when they arrive at the business end of the tournament, but Demons must get it together on Sunday afternoon when they take on DCU Saints at The Mardyke Arena in defence of their National Cup title.

This promises to be an intriguing contest as both sides always lift themselves to new heights for the cup. Until Hoops battered down their fortress, The Mardyke Arena has been a safe haven for Demons for the past two seasons.
