Late Morrison strike enough for UCD to claim the spoils

CILLIAN MORRISON struck late to give UCD a victory they just about deserved against Mick Cooke’s new charges at Hunky Dory’s Park.

Drogheda defended doggedly over the 90 minutes but lacked a cutting edge up front, while College kept the debut keeper David Quirke busy throughout.

With so many new players in their line-ups, both sides were slow to adapt on the slippery surface and there was little pattern to the play in the opening quarter.
