DCU stand firm to reach first final

DCU 0-8 UCC 0-6

It was a victory that didn't look likely at half-time, when the Dublin students could only manage a 0-5 to 0-2 lead after playing with a very strong wind, but they produced a marvellous second half to set up an intriguing final against Queens at Parnell Park tonight.

"I'm elated at the victory," said coach Niall Moyna. "We've been trying to establish Gaelic games in the college and this win will do wonders. This is the 25the anniversary of the university and it's fantastic to be contesting the Sigerson final for the first time.
