Maynooth hammer Ulster in quest for Fitzgibbon Cup

UUJ 1-7, Maynooth 4-23: A wonky Sat Nav and crazy five-hour bus journey didn’t upset the rhythm of Maynooth, who duly hammered University of Ulster to keep alive hopes of making the knockout stages of the Fitzgibbon Cup.

The game at Jordanstown was delayed for over an hour after the Sat Nav on the Maynooth team bus took the team to UU’s Coleraine campus instead of Jordanstown.

After changing on the bus and running straight onto the pitch, they faced into a galeforce wind and still managed to lead 2-10 to 1-7 at half time. The home side failed to score against the wind in the second half as Maynooth’s class told, Kilkenny star Padraig Walsh pulling the strings with 0-5 from play.
