Heary leads the way for UCD

GOALS in each half from skipper Owen Heary and striker Anto Flood were enough to give an inexperienced Bohemians side a deserved victory over a young UCD at the Belfield Bowl last night.

Bohs enjoyed all the early pressure and almost took the lead when a Killian Brennan corner was only half-pushed away by keeper Ger Barron, only for Liam Burns’ effort to be blocked by a wall of defenders. From the rebound, Flood let fly only to see his effort brilliantly pushed away by Barron.

The students might have made better use of an opening created when Darren Meenan burst down the right to set up the chance for Robbie Benson, only for the striker to miscue with keeper Chris O’Connor comfortably gathering the ball.
