Forde’s late strike breaks UCC hearts

Fitzgibbon Cup Group B - UCC 1-14 UL 1-14: This certainly didn’t feature in the script, Jason Forde’s injury-time point bringing the curtain down on UCC’s Fitzgibbon Cup involvement. 

Ger Cunningham’s charges, off the back of their shock defeat to NUIG, entered yesterday’s tie knowing nothing but victory would be sufficient in securing a quarter-final berth.

And when Cormac Murphy split the posts from deep inside his own half 40 seconds from the end of normal time to move UCC in front, the collective roar from the home crowd was deafening.
