InsureMyHouse.ie Pat Duffy National Cup champions Griffith College Templeogue begin their title defence at NUIG Maree on Saturday, as the competition returns for the first time since its Covid-enforced absence.

Head coach Mark Keenan is delighted to be back playing in the prestigious competition but knows they will have to be at their best to get past the first hurdle.
