John Heslin inspires UCD victory

Sigerson Cup - UCD 0-11 NUIG 1-6: UCD may have a string of Dublin All-Ireland winners in their ranks but it was the accuracy of Westmeath’s John Heslin that saw them over the line in a good contest in Dangan yesterday.

Heslin’s accuracy, coupled with the wasteful shooting of the home college, were the decisive factors as UCD advanced to set up a Sigerson Cup quarter-final away to UCC next week.

And manager John Divilly, a former All-Ireland winner with Galway, was first to acknowledge that they had been severely-tested by NUIG.
