UCC complete first Collingwood-Harding double in style

Trinity College Dublin 1 University College Cork 3

UCC picked up a second Irish Universities Collingwood Cup in five years and their 12th overall when they proved too strong for Trinity College in the decider at Eamon Deacy Park, Terryland yesterday.

The 3-1 scoreline in favour of the impressive Cork side fairly reflects their almost total dominance of this final that proved to be a game too far for the Trinity boys, who were in action for the fourth time in four days in the testing conditions that prevailed in Galway since last Monday, while UCC, with the help of a first round bye had a game less to play.
