Late UL goal sets up UCD final in Collingwood Cup

An Oisín McMenamin header in the dying embers of extra-time kept University of Limerick’s quest for an first Collingwood Cup title alive as they squeaked past Trinity College Dublin at The Farm, winning 2-1 after extra-time.

The game began slowly with both teams trying to feel their way into the game on a pitch in fine condition despite the recent wet weather.

Trinity had the game’s opening chance, as Ronan Hanaphy’s quick throw found Eoghan Vaughan, his flat cross was only half-cleared but quarter-final hero Hanaphy could only fire the follow-up wide.
