Rival coaches must put friendship aside

CORMAC O’DONOGHUE and James Weldon played basketball together with Gleneagle Lakers in Killarney but will put that friendship aside this evening.

The duo have taken to management and O’Donghue’s Team Montenotte Hotel Cork meet Weldon’s UL in the women’s SuperLeague National Cup semi-final at Neptune Stadium.

“We played together in Killarney and, in fact, it was James who got me involved in coaching,” recalled O’Donoghue.
