Students snatch dramatic draw

UCD 25 Cork Con 25

Billy Dardis’s dramatic late try and Garry Ringrose’s nerveless conversion rescued a draw for UCD at the Belfield Bowl yesterday.

It was a incredible finish to a game that had looked to be heading towards a home win after tries from Risteard Byrne and Sam Coghlan-Murray had helped UCD to a 15-3 half-time lead. With 13 minutes left, however, and after two tries from substitute Graeme Lawlor, Con were 25-18 ahead.
