Derby duo aim to shoot the lights out

It’s a 46-year intense rivalry that has made UCC Demons and Bord Gais Neptune one of the most spectacular games on the Irish basketball calendar.

Tonight at the Mardyke Arena (8pm) more than 2,000 fans will gather for another chapter in this remarkable fight for bragging rights in Cork.

In the last three years UCC Demons have defeated their near neighbours seven times with the Blackpool side having to settle for two wins.
