Demons get the derby win 

It didn’t quite live up to the level of the first two Cork derbies this season, but Demons' 101-94 win over Neptune was still a very entertaining game full of drama. Neptune looked the most cohesive they have been for large parts of the game but then when the fourth quarter came, there was questionable decision making, poor body language and defensive breakdowns. This is exactly what we have come to expect with a Neptune team who tease you with the talent they have and then ultimately find a way to implode.
