Holders Neptune without Downey for key Cup clash

Defending champions Bord Gáis Neptune will be without key point guard Roy Downey for tomorrow’s Premier National Cup quarter-final against DCU Saints at Neptune Stadium.

Downey, after a spell in England last season, has been in terrific form since joining the Premier League ranks and his coach Mark Scannell is disappointed to be missing such an influential player.

“Roy went over on his ankle on Monday at our training session and despite our best efforts, time is against us and he is highly unlikely to figure again for a couple of weeks,” Scannell said.
