UCD win dramatic penalty shoot-out as Maynooth also march on

Mark Langtry kept UCD hopes alive with an equaliser five minutes from time to send their Irish Universities Collingwood Cup first round tie against DCU into extra-time and penalties on the opening day of this years’ competition at UL.

The dramatic penalty shoot-out that settled this enthralling cup tie went the Belfield sides’ way (6-5) after both sides had taken 10 spot kicks each.

DCU went ahead through a fine Mark Logan goal on 35 minutes, the assist coming from a fine Philip Kavanagh cross from the left.
