Mark Boland bags last-minute winner as UCD foil UL to land 43rd Collingwood title

UCD 2 UL 1: Mark Boland was the hero as his last-minute winner secured UCD their 43rd Collingwood Cup at the expense of UL in torrid conditions at the Mardyke.

Garbhan Coughlan put the Shannonsiders ahead with a thunderous strike early on, but after weathering a heavy first-half storm, the Dubliners equalised in the second period through Georgie Kelly, before Boland stole the game at the end.

UCD made one change heading into the game with semi-final substitute Colm Feeney in for Gareth Coughlan. UL meanwhile welcomed back Garbhan Coughlan in attack having recovered from a knock sustained against Trinity the day before.
