Brilliant Buckley fires UCC

ON the day when one Kerry midfielder departed the inter-county scene, another commanded the headlines after yesterday’s Sigerson Cup quarter-final at the Mardyke.

Brilliant Buckley fires UCC

UCC looked to have the edge on GMIT during this game, but it took a masterful display around the middle by Dr Crokes man John Buckley to confirm their superiority. Buckley excelled, particularly in the second-half, giving a superb aerial display, and also strode forward to land two points.

UCC manager John Corcoran praised Buckley’s input afterwards. “John gave a display of some superb fielding in the second-half. He gave us a huge grip at midfield, but we always knew he had that ability. When we met last September, we said we wanted to reach the weekend and we’ve achieved that objective now. But once you get there, you want to go and win it.”
