Late points crucial as UCC survive tough Seandún test

UCC 1-17 Seandún 3-10: UCC needed three late unanswered points to get the better of Seandún in the opening game of the county SFC at Ballinlough last night.

When Killian Brosnan gathered Stephen Crowley’s delivery and fired to Darragh O’Shea’s net for the city division’s third goal in the 53rd minute, it put them two points ahead, capping what appeared to be a late surge to take them past the students. Unfortunately, though, it was their last score as UCC found a second wind.

Two Conor Cox frees – his ninth and 10th points – levelled matters again, and in between that Jordan Kiely was unlucky not to get a College goal, his shot hitting the post and rebounding into the hands of full-back Ronan Foley.
