UCD secured their place in the Sigerson Cup final after a thrilling penalty shootout victory over TU Dublin. The match, a tense affair played at Abbottstown, went to extra time after both sides finished level at 0-5 apiece. A dramatic finish saw an extra-time goal from Monaghan's Ryan O'Toole for UCD eventually leading to a 5-4 penalty shootout victory after both sides missed crucial chances.
Leitrim's Barry McNulty proved instrumental for UCD, converting a crucial penalty in the shootout and also scoring a point from a mark that sent the game to penalties. Monaghan's O'Toole also played a vital role with his extra-time goal, while TU Dublin will rue missing four of their eight penalty shots. The Belfield outfit will be hoping to go one better this year after losing last year's final to ULster University.The first half saw UCD take a 0-3 to 0-1 lead, thanks in part to captain Daire Cregg who slotted two points. TU Dublin's sole first-half point came from Jordan Morris before he was forced off injured after an apparent blow to the face. TU Dublin rallied in the second half, scoring three points in a row to tie the game at 0-4 each. Darragh Lovett, fresh off his nine-point haul for Cavan in his NFL debut last weekend, was among their scorers. The momentum continued into extra-time as both sides traded points, with Lovett's free equalizing the score at 0-5 each.O'Toole's fortunate extra-time goal from a long delivery cancelled out TU Dublin points from Ollie Brooks, Cian Reilly and Lovett. With both teams unable to find a decisive goal, the game looked destined for penalties, which it eventually reached after trading two more points each in the second period of extra-time
