Goals do the trick for UCD in Fitzgibbon Cup

UCD 2-12 UCC 0-13 Fitzgibbon Cup

Nicky English is the holder of five Fitzgibbon Cup medals, won during his time at an all-conquering UCC in the early 1980s. At the Mardyke yesterday, he was in the away dugout but the outcome was familiar to him as he masterminded a victory which puts UCD in a great position to emerge from Group A.

A goal just before half-time from Oisín O’Rorke helped the visitors to a 1-7 to 0-7 half-time lead and when Colm Cronin struck on the three-quarter mark it put them 2-9 to 0-11 to the good after UCC had suggested they might reassert themselves.
