Buckley inspires UCC past college rivals

UCC 1-12 Cork IT 1-10

Success in yesterday’s McGrath Cup semi-final at CIT’s grounds means the university have two outings next week with a Sigerson Cup opener against DIT on Wednesday and a McGrath Cup decider the following Sunday.

In addition the nature of this performance will provide the UCC management with plenty to mull over before they select their side to face the Dublin college. UCC rung the changes for this game as they drafted in six new players, with goalkeeper Ken O’Halloran and centre-back Adrian Greaney the only members of the defensive rearguard to be retained from last Sunday’s McGrath Cup opening win over Clare.
