PREVIEW: C&S UCC Demons Prepare for Title decider at the Mardyke
It's a season defining weekend for C&S UCC Demons in the Men's Premier League with two games in 24 hours to put their title hopes in their own hands.
The defending champions go to GCD Swords Thunder on Saturday for the first time since losing to them in the Hula Hoops Men's National Cup Semi-Final.
Then on Sunday, Cup champions and fellow table-toppers Templeogue come to the Mardyke for what's being billed as a title decider. Templeogue won their first meeting between the two sides at the start of the season.
