Daly's goal proves decisive as Erins Own hold out against UCC

GRITTY Erins Own held on to edge out UCC 1-8 to 0-9 in a hard-fought permanent tsb Cork County SHC contest at Pairc Ui Rinn last night with Sean Daly’s goal in the 22nd minute the decisive score.

With a host of inter-county players on view, much was expected from this game, but it failed to sparkle and the fact that neither side could manage a score for the last 26 minutes tells its own story.

It's all about winning however and Erins Own can look forward to round three while the students face a tricky second round against Glen Rovers.
