Maynooth University secured their second Collingwood Cup title with an impressive victory against the University of Galway. Aaron Doran's early strike proved to be the difference-maker in a tense and closely contested match.
Maynooth University claimed their second Collingwood Cup title after a hard-fought victory against the University of Galway. Aaron Doran 's sixth-minute strike proved to be the decisive goal, as he expertly controlled a long throw-in and fired a left-footed shot past the Galway goalkeeper. Despite Galway's best efforts to equalize, Maynooth held firm, thanks in part to a stellar performance from Sultan Adeneken , who was awarded the player of the tournament trophy.
\Doran's goal came against the run of play after a dominant start from Galway. However, Maynooth capitalized on a rare chance, converting from a quickly taken throw-in. Galway responded with a flurry of attacks, but Maynooth's defense, led by Adeneken, stood strong. They even came close to doubling their lead in the 25th minute, hitting the woodwork twice in quick succession. \In the second half, Maynooth continued to frustrate Galway's efforts. While Galway pushed forward, searching for a goal to level the match, Maynooth remained composed and disciplined. They defended resolutely and countered effectively, preventing Galway from creating clear-cut opportunities. The victory marks Maynooth's second Collingwood Cup title, having previously won the trophy eleven years ago, also at the expense of the University of Galway.
