UCC progress sealed as Lawless doubles up

Holders UCC continued their charge towards another Collingwood Cup as they scored a comfortable 4-0 win over a disappointing NUI Galway yesterday.

Paul Lawless hit two and Rob Waters and Kyle O’Shea added the others to allow manager John Caulfield the opportunity to give all his substitutes a run ahead of today’s semi-final against Mary Immaculate.

Noel O’Connor sprung a surprise on hosts UL when his Mary Immaculate College charges claimed a 2-1 win with two second-half goals from John Hutton and Cormac Crowe to cancel out Declan O’Donnell’s header just before the break in the all-Limerick clash.
