Champions UCC get massive scare

UCC 1-13 NUIG 0-14

Given the way the Mary I v GMIT game panned out, a draw would have been enough for the hosts, though with just under five minutes left, NUIG looked the more likely to take the last-eight spot.

Having outscored their opponents by 0-7 to 0-2 between the 36th and 56th minutes, the Galway college were given a great chance to take the lead when UCC sub Fives was pulled for over-carrying around the middle.
