Fenton goal decisive as Garda foil stirring UCD fightback

Garda College 1-13 UCD 1-6

It came at a stage when the home side were under enormous pressure as UCD, with the wind to their backs, came forward in waves, looking for the win. A breakdown in a passing movement on the Garda 45 metre line saw the ball passed to Fenton who took off on solo run.

Fenton who had only just come on for the injured Padraig Mullarkey, couldn’t believe his luck as the UCD defence backed off and allowed him to race through before the Kerry man unleashed a powerful shot to the net to set up a quarter-final clash with DCU.
