Flynn on fire as DCU deliver final masterclass

For the third time in seven years DCU climbed to the Sigerson Cup winner’s podium on Saturday afternoon at Pearse Stadium.

They may have been pushed to the limit in their opening game this season by Cork IT but have strolled through their encounters since and claimed victory by handsome margins.

Possessing a squad crammed with inter-county luminaries made DCU’s task all the easier. Their strength in depth is remarkable. Galway senior midfielder Fiontán Ó Curraoin, who gave a towering performance in Friday’s semi-final win over UUJ, was unable to play due to an ankle injury and was replaced by Cork’s Fionn O’Shea.
