Dooley steers Offaly into Walsh Shield final
OFFALY 3-15 UCD 1-10
Shane Dooley bagged a hat-trick of goals as Offaly gave a convincing display against UCD at Banagher.
This Walsh Shield semi-final was a fiercely-contested affair, particularly in the first half at the end of which Offaly led by 0-08 to 0-06.
UCD netted through Dublin's Joey Maher on the restart, but Dooley was really on fire and bagged a second half hat-trick.
An understrength UCD, who were without five players through injury, simply had no answer as Joe Dooley's charges convincingly booked a final spot.
