Much more than pride at stake in Cork derby

EXPECT more fireworks when Bord Gais Neptune and UCC Demons meet in the Cork SuperLeague local derby at Neptune Stadium tomorrow night.

Demons won the bragging rights last time, but there is much more than pride at stake now as the business end of the SuperLeague approaches. Demons lie second in the Southern Conference — a guarantee of home advantage in the play-offs — but their old foes aren’t ready to surrender the position just yet.

“We are excited about being on our home floor against Demons,” Neptune coach, Pat Price, said.
