UCC chasing historic victory in McGrath Cup

UCC have the possibility of making history tomorrow night when they face Waterford in the McGrath Cup final (Fraher Field, 6pm), but it’s arguably a distraction they could have done without.

No third-level side has won Munster football’s pre-season competition but UCC’s primary focus is on opening their Sigerson Cup title defence against Cork IT on Tuesday at the Mardyke.

Selector John Corcoran admits that the fixture pile-up isn’t ideal, but he believes that their squad is strong enough to cope.
