Moyna hails heroes as DCU secure Sigerson

FOUR years after they burst onto the Sigerson Cup scene with a maiden triumph, DCU confirmed their staying power as a third-level football force by claiming honours in Saturday’s decider in Leixlip, Kildare.

Inscribing their name on the roll of honour for a second time was a notable milestone after a series of disappointingly short campaigns since 2006. They have assembled talented teams in the interim but lacked the consistency to produce a winning run.

On Saturday, they atoned for those misses, rounding off a fine weekend of football by possessing the greater power and experience to dislodge a spirited UCC side.
