C&S UCC Demons on guard for cup duel with Swords, says Lehmon Colbert

C&S UCC Demons continue their bid for a third consecutive Premier Men’s National title at the Mardyke Arena tonight, where they host Swords Thunder in the first semi-final on a bonanza weekend for basketball in Cork.

Demons beat the Dublin side 95-70 at the same stage last year and will start warm favourites, though American Lehmon Colbert has warned his teammates about complacency.

“I have learned over the years, playing in England and Ireland, that cup basketball can sometimes throw up the unexpected and we will need to be focused,” Colbert said.
