UUJ wrap it up early

UCD’s footballers filed through the doors of the large entertainment tent adjacent to the main stand at half-time in this Sigerson Cup semi-final.

John Divilly’s men had returned for the start of the second period, but with no sign of UUJ and the rain continuing to bucket down, the Belfield outfit headed for the only available cover.

For anyone not accustomed to half-time team talks in the GAA world yesterday provided quite the education. UCD officials, already fuming over UUJ’s ploy of lining out their team in different numbered jerseys as to what was printed in the match programme, had had enough.
