DCU power home despite bright DIT opening

DCU are going all out to regain the Sigerson Cup title they lost last year and it’s going to take a good team to stop them.

By the end of the game yesterday, DCU were toying with a formidable looking DIT team that boasted stellar inter-county players in Alan Freeman, Aidan O’Shea, Tom Parsons, Gearoid McKiernan and Bernard Allen. DCU not only boasted their own collection of big-names, but one that also play very much as a team and now advance to the finals weekend in Galway where they’ll face either UUJ or NUIG in the semi-final.

“We’re delighted to be going toGalway,” said DCU joint-manager Tony Diamond afterwards. “It was looking ominous for us after the first ten minutes when they were playing some very good football against a very strong breeze. We seemed nervous and hesitant at that time, but we have some good footballers, they turned it around.”
