Dominant Demons end cup drought

C&S UCC Demons 82 Dublin Inter 64

For Shane Coughlan, their captain and veteran of 16 seasons, it was a record ninth National Cup final appearance and this latest success makes him just the second man after Damien Sealy to win the thing five times.

For Colin O’Reilly, it was a night that could hardly be bettered. In his first season as player/coach, the veteran centre has already claimed the big one and he played his part on court too with his nous and ten points.
