UCC want to end 10 year wait for O'Connor Cup

The Yoplait Ladies Higher Education Committee Championship Finals will be held at DCU on Friday and Saturday. In the Yoplait O’Connor Cup semi-finals, DCU Dóchas Éireann will play UCC, with holders UL up against NUIG on Friday. 

Emma Cleary: "There is huge competition and the fact that UCC haven’t won it since 2012 shows how much competition there is out there."

UCC forward Emma Cleary says her team may have not have the star power of some of their counterparts in the Yoplait O’Connor Cup this weekend but a win is long overdue at this level.

The Cork university have not been victorious in the competition since 2012 and face stiff opposition from UL, NUI Galway and today’s opponents DCU Dóchas Éireann.
