Egan leads by example for NUIG

NUIG 1-11 DIT 2-5

In a game that won’t be remembered for the purity of its hurling, the Galway students were relieved to make it back to the final, but won’t need any reminding that a repeat of this display wouldn’t be good enough to give them lift their first title since 1980.

The Galway students won because they had a little bit more craft and skill in attack, where captain and Tipperary senior Dara Egan was their top scorer with five points, four from play.
