Sarah Fryday’s glory strike clinches sixth Ashbourne Cup for UL

UL 3-12 UCC 4-7: The Ashbourne Cup final has produced its share of drama of the years and the 2016 renewal added its own chapter with a breathtaking conclusion to a wonderful game in Gort.

It took an injury time goal from their Tipperary hat-trick heroine Sarah Fryday to give last year’s beaten finalists, University of Limerick a sixth title and deny University College Cork their 33rd.

It looked like the Cork outfit might have snatched the honours when turning a six-point deficit around to lead by two after a late goal from their own hat-trick star, Cork All Star Katrina Mackey.
