NUI Galway 1 NUI Maynooth 2

First Division leaders Longford Town staged a remarkable comeback to snatch victory from the penalty spot against nine-man Mervue in the third minute of injury-time at Fahy’s Field last night, having equalised in the final minute.

VETERAN Alan Kirby’s 65th minute strike helped leaders Longford Town to a comfortable three points over Wexford Youths at Ferrycarrig Park last night.

LUKE BURGESS proved to be the UCC matchwinner with a stunning strike in extra time to help take the famous Irish Universities Collingwood Cup back to Leeside for the first time since 2005.

BILLY CLERY is hoping to make it third time lucky and bridge a 12 years gap when his NUIG side take on UCC in today’s Irish Universities Collingwood Cup final at College Park (2.30).
