NUIG have too much firepower for UL

NUIG 0-18 UL 1-5

The defending Sigerson champions had this game won by the interval, having built a commanding 0-12 to 0-2 lead. There was nothing in UL’s game to suggest they had what it took to mount a serious comeback.

UL had no answer to Galway’s guile down the wings and their perilous half-time situation worsened immediately after the re-start, when Brendan Colleran and Mark Fadden tacked on scores for NUIG. That put them twelve points ahead, the rest of the game was simply a formality.
