14-man UCC see off NUIG

UCC 1-12 NUI Galway 2-7

Rocked after conceding a goal after less than two minutes and reduced to 14 men in the 47th minute when corner-back Kieran Connery received a straight red for a stamping offence, UCC held their composure to register a two-point victory.

Despite these setbacks in a physically tough and uncompromising clash, UCC, with corner-forward Ronan Hussey in sparkling form and Fintan Gould working his socks off, always looked the more accomplished side.
