Demons race clear of Elks

There was cup action all around the country this weekend as the cream of the crop in the men’s and women’s senior and U18s battled it out in the quarter-finals.

Two of the favourites for the senior cup were drawn against each other in Belfast with Ulster Elks taking on Blue Demons. It was the visitors from Cork who settled best, leading by over 20 points for large stretches of the first half and going in at the break up 49-33.

Demons, led by an inspired back court combination of Kyle Hosford and Stephen McCarthy combined for 31 points and led the Cork National League team to a 23-point win on a final score line of 65-88.
