Sigerson Cup: Downes to the fore as UL qualify for successive deciders

Almost to the day this week last year, David Clifford led the way as UL edged DCU to secure a first Sigerson Cup final appearance in 25 years. It was a final appearance that ended without a historic first Sigerson crown for the Limerick college.

University of Limerick 3-12 DCU Dóchas Éireann 0-12 

Twelve months on, we had the same two teams, same venue, same stage of the competition, and, most important of all to note, the very same outcome.
