UCD narrowly defeated TU Dublin in a thrilling Sigerson Cup semi-final, progressing to the final via a dramatic penalty shootout. Both teams struggled to convert chances throughout the game, with the match ultimately decided by spot kicks. UCD's victory sets up a potential rematch of last year's final against Ulster University.
UCD edged out TU Dublin in a gripping Sigerson Cup semi-final, securing a dramatic 1-7 to 0-10 victory after a tense penalty shootout . The game, played at Abbottstown, Dublin, saw both sides struggle to convert chances throughout regulation and extra-time. UCD 's Ryan O'Toole was the hero of the hour, netting a fortunate goal in extra-time, while Barry McNulty stepped up to take a crucial penalty in the shootout.
UCD's spot-kick hero, Ben O'Carroll, converted the winning kick, sending UCD to the Sigerson Cup final next Wednesday. TU Dublin will be left to rue missed opportunities, having wasted four of their eight penalty kicks. Both teams reached the semi-finals with flawless records, but the final proved a tense and unpredictable affair. UCD's attack, featuring Malachy Stone, Charlie McMorrow, and Callum Bolton, faced a tough challenge from TU Dublin's defenders. The first half was a cagey affair, with both sides struggling to find their rhythm. UCD narrowly held the lead, 0-3 to 0-1, at the break thanks to points from Daire Cregg and Aaron Lynch. TU Dublin, missing key players Colm Basquel and Jordan Morris (after an injury), rallied in the second half, scoring three unanswered points to draw level. The game remained tightly contested, with neither side able to break the deadlock. Extra-time saw the tension rise further, with O'Toole's lucky goal for UCD cancelled out by three TU Dublin points. The game eventually went to a penalty shootout, where UCD emerged victorious. The result sets up a potential repeat of last year's final, with Ulster University facing DCU in the other semi-final
