Historic Cork rivals kick off big weekend of derby duels

The Cork derby games between UCC Demons and C&S Neptune stretch back in their various guises to 1966 and tonight the Mardyke Arena will host another chapter in a 53-year rivalry between these famous Leeside clubs.

In the present climate, the games have become somewhat tamer compared to previous battles when some pundits compared it to the Glasgow soccer derby between Celtic and Rangers.
