UCD won a 49th title with a 3-2 win over University of Limerick.
UCD 3 UNIVERSITY OF LIMERICK 2 A 49TH COLLINGWOOD Cup will sit in the UCD trophy cabinet after a dramatic finish to this classic final of the Irish Universities flagship competition with plenty of second half drama at Larne FC Inver Park.
Ciaran Behan with his trademark cracking left footed drive from all of 25 yards sailed past Josh Coady to put UCD in front on 63 minutes. However, the drama wasn’t finished as we entered three minutes of time added on and when Keaney’s fine ball picked out Cowhey’s run into the box for the golden header that saw UCD retain the cup for another season and left UL still looking for that elusive first ever win.
The best chance of the half fell to UL in the closing minutes but Healy was in top form to keep Conor Whittle’s header out.Nations Analysis Get Murray Kinsella’s exclusive analysis of Ireland’s Six Nations campaign this springUCD: Lorcan Healy; Sean Carmody, Michael Gallagher, Jack Keaney, Shane McCreery; Rossa McAllister, Dara Keane, Donal Higgins; Billy Griffin, Danu Kinsella Bishop, Ciaran Behan.
