Duggan inspires Demons to win as Neptune fall flat

DERBY games can be everything, close, tight, exciting but last night’s clash between UCC Demons and Bord Gáis Neptune was all about one side — Demons — and one can only wonder how much importance should be attached to the scoreline and the result, heading towards the business end of the Nivea for Men SuperLeague.

When they crossed paths two games into the current season it resulted in a nailbiting thriller, with Neptune fighting back to win by two points.

This time, however, nothing like that was ever going to happen as the visitors took total control of the third quarter, outscoring their arch-rivals 32 points to 16 and virtually putting the game out of reach.
