Brilliant Breathnach hits 12 points as DCU turn on style after interval

DCU 1-20 St Pat’s-Mater Dei 0-11 

A dozen points from Waterford’s Donie Breathnach proved decisive as the north-Dublin outfit edged their near neighbours into bottom spot in Group A.

It was tempting to label this game a dead rubber with Cork IT and UCD sure of filling the top two positions before the day had even begun. But the derby aspect lent plenty of bite.
