Heslin inspires UCD past Athlone
Early points from Conor Sheridan and Paul Mannion (a free) had UCD two points to the good before Ger Egan’s fifth-minute penalty for AIT was brilliantly saved by Eoghan Keogh.
Tit-for-tat scoring had the Dublin college a point ahead before the home team took the lead for the first time in the 28th minute, when James Dolan drilled the ball low under the diving Keogh. However, a brace of excellent points from Mark Hughes and John Heslin had UCD on level terms at the break (0-7 to 1-4).
