UCC end celebrations in style against Ivy League

THE UCC football club will mark the conclusion of their celebrations of the 50th anniversary of the club’s foundation with matches against teams representing the famous Harvard and Princeton universities in America next week.

UCC will spend almost two weeks in America and will play six matches, including two each against the first and second choice teams of Princeton and Harvard. The other matches will be against Bowdoin University in Maine and a social game against a local team from the Boston district, Druid Celtic.

This is a very attractive programme, one that has been a long time in planning by club president John MacCarthy, chairman Darren Hayes and Kieran Nestor, chairman of the club's alumni.
