Wildcats face Leixlip in Cup quarter final

Wildcats face Leixlip in Cup quarter final

The Waterford Wildcats return to cup action this weekend.

The league action has been set aside for a week as the Paudie O Connor national cup reaches the quarter-final stage.

Tommy O Mahony's team made it to the semi-finals last season where they suffered a 5-point loss to eventual runners-up DCU Mercy.

This year the Wildcats had a bye for the first round and find themselves straight into the final eight where they face Leixlip Amenities Liffey Celtics.

Celtics were three-point winners over Singleton SuperValu Brunell in their opening game.

While the Waterford side have not gotten a taste of cup games yet this year they have plenty of minutes in the legs from their league endeavors. They hold fourth place in the Super League having won 5 of their seven games to date. Their only losses so far have come against Dublin sides DCU and Trinity Meteors.
