Derby keeps Demons on toes

C&S UCC Demons’ Ciarán O’Sullivan insists focus won’t be straying beyond this weekend’s Premier League opener against Cork rivals Neptune to a potentially mouth-watering November clash against Killester in round one of the men’s National Cup.

Although Killester won the league last season, O’Sullivan says Neptune still represent the historical attraction and are the perfect opponents to whet fans’ appetites for the coming season.

“Killester is a very tough draw,” O’Sullivan said. “We were two of the best teams last year, we took home the cup and Champions’ trophy and Killester took home the league so there’s nothing between us. We’re looking forward to it, even though it is a day in the future. We need to focus on the weekend first.
