A run of six points in-a-row after half-time ultimately turned the game against ATU Galway.
DARRAGH FLYNN STRUCK 14 points as UCC edged into next Tuesday’s Fitzgibbon Cup semi-final against University of Galway.
ATU Galway disrupted the UCC attack from the off, with Cianan Fahy capping a dominant defensive performance marking Conor Cahalane with two points. A Jack Forde block-down also led to a point at the other end, where Kevin Cooney, son of Joe and brother of Joseph, was doing damage, scoring 0-7. Brion Saunderson had shown sharp reactions to prevent a likely goal for Cian Folan but he couldn’t stop Ronan Murphy when he latched onto the break from a long-range free in the 13th minute. An Evan Hunt point made it 1-4 to 0-5.
UCC wrapped it up with the final three points, from Flynn , Barrett, and Power, but they know more accuracy will be needed the next day out.
