Top clubs facing league and cup juggling act
A handful of players will therefore be in action twice in 24 hours, potentially at opposite ends of the country. UCC’s men will be hoping there are no ill-effects from an IJC trip to Antrim’s Mossley when their firsts meet Catholic Institute at the Mardyke on Sunday — their first clash against an outfit outside last year’s top three in Munster.
Institute may have revenge on their minds after shipping a 5-1 defeat in the Irish Trophy before Christmas, and have shocked the students in the past. But if College’s Gray brothers Roger and Andy bring their drag-flicking A-game, it should give the hosts a first league win of the season.
