Hogan to the rescue as UCD snatch late draw

IT MAY have taken a late quality point from full-forward Keith Hogan to save UCD’s bacon in this thrilling Fitzgibbon Cup game at WIT’s Carriganore venue yesterday, but it was well deserved on a day hurling itself was the real winner.

The exchanges were frenetic, yet sportingly contested right through with the quality of the hurling also right out of the top drawer.

Add in the many outstanding individual performances on both sides and you had the very best possible start to the competition.
