Neptune gear-up for crucial weekend

CORK rivals, UCC Demons and NEH Neptune, will play at each end of the country this weekend but they will be drawn together in a fierce battle for second place in the Southern Conference as the Nivea for Men SuperLeague goes into the final series before the play-offs.

Both sides are guaranteed a place in the play-offs but this weekend’s games will determine who will fill the second position in the Southern Conference and get home advantage.

Neptune face a double header against UCD/Marian and Moycullen at Neptune Stadium while UCC Demons face a tricky assignment away to Belfast Star who beat the Southern Conference winners, UL Eagles, last weekend.
