UCC gain upper hand on UCD | Stephen Barry

 While the Collingwood Cup went in the direction of the capital, it was something of a trend this week for UCC’s GAA sides to topple the Dublin giants. Apart from the Fitzgibbon Cup semi-final, the ladies footballers secured their place in the O’Connor Cup finals weekend, to be held in in a fortnight’s time in Waterford. The reigning champions defeated a highly rated UCD side by 2-15 to 0-13 having lead by two at the break.Meanwhile a goal ten minutes from time put UCD in a commanding position in the Fresher All-Ireland semi-final. However the Ger Cunningham trained UCC students shot seven of the final nine points to emerge victorious by two, 0-17 to 1-12.
