UCD overcome resilient Queens

UCD 1-10, QUB 1-7

Facing into the strong wind, which they had taken little advantage of in the first half, UCD showed strength and character in quickly responding with three points from play. Ultimately it was what ensured that they would be semi-finalists.

The Dublin students had the greater amount of possession, except that they didn't make the most of it at periods when they were best equipped to do so. Conversely, Queens paid the penalty for failing to capitalise on two first-half goal-scoring opportunities in which Armagh star Paddy McKeever was the central figure.
