Maynooth survive UCD scare
The hosts led at the interval 1-3 to 0-4, courtesy of a clinically-finished goal by Michael Newman who carried on his good form in the tournament to date by taking a pass from Paul Cahillane and, showing good strength, held off Josh Hayes before sliding a shot under Michael McGinley.
Coming as it did after points from Cian Mullins, Seán Denvir and a long-range effort by man-of-the-match Tommy Moolick, it established a five-point advantage for John Divilly’s crew, who had fallen behind to an early Niall Kilroy point.
