D’Allesio’s Demons fully focused for final battle

UCC DEMONS travel to Dublin this weekend in defence of their Men’s National Cup on the back of two SuperLeague defeats but that statistic will have no bearing on what promises to be an intriguing final.

Last year they snatched the coveted trophy from DART Killester who were favourites to win just about everything and the pain of that result has left the Clontarf side aching for revenge.

At their best, Demons have a great chance of justifying favouritism. In last weekend’s games they conceded an incredible total of turnovers and that is a problem that needs to be addressed, with players like Jermaine Turner and Paddy Kelly available for the feed.
