UL earn big chance to atone for last year

University of Limerick 0-10 Dublin Institute of Technology 0-7: University of Limerick will meet reigning champions UCD in next week’s Sigerson Cup semi-final after squeezing past the error-strewn challenge of DIT.

The semi-final pairing is a repeat of last year’s clash which the Dublin side took at a canter, 4-12 to 1-9, before going on to win the competition outright the following afternoon.

Ten of the UL side to feature in Jordanstown started yesterday’s quarter-final, but there is a greater balance to this year’s team which has been strengthened by the addition at full-back of Cork footballer John Mullins, Pearse Lillis at wing-back and Kerry pair, Brendan O’Keeffe and Michael Geaney in the half-forward line.
