Scannell prepped for derby date

MARK SCANNELL has been through derby games as a player and a coach and is the first to admit there will be very little between the sides when Bord Gáis Neptune and UCC Demons clash in the Nivea for Men SuperLeague at Neptune Stadium tonight.

Scannell, who enjoyed a record breaking run with Team Montenotte in the Women’s SuperLeague, is settling at Neptune Stadium and is delighted with their two big results to date.

“So far so good,” he said. “It’s been a good start but we’re not getting carried away. I’m just finding my feet and the lads are just getting used to me. Maybe from conditioning point of view we could be a lot fitter but we’ll catch up on it.”
