Fitzgerald goal copperfastens UCD victory over tired Birr

UCD 1-12 Birr 1-7

Birr have fought many an invigorating battle down the years but no-one has yet fought Father Time and won.

Though winter borrowed a day from summer for yesterday’s contest, UCD’s younger legs stood up better to the test on a pitch that, though heavy, was in remarkably good shape after the previous night’s Interprovincial football final.
