Neptune eye revenge on bitter rivals Demons

IN NORMAL circumstances it would be just an opportunity to recover from a National Cup semi-final, but UCC Demons and National Event Hire Neptune will sweep into Neptune Stadium on a wave of adrenalin for another derby game tomorrow night.

The massive attendance at Neptune Stadium last weekend provided ample evidence that basketball is alive and well in Cork. UCC Demons had already provided that proof last year with a full collection of silverware from the major competitions.

Demons are expected to achieve similar success this year and appear to be getting there. After last Sunday’s semi-final victory over Neptune they face their old foes again tomorrow night before heading to Limerick on Sunday to play UL Eagles who are eight points clear in the Southern Conference.
