Sean McLoughlin strikes as UCC take title

UCC 1 Cobh Wanderers 0: A late Sean McLoughlin goal saw Noel Healy’s UCC claim the Beamish Stout Munster Senior League Premier Division title as they got the better of Cobh Wanderers at The Mardyke last night.

UCC went into the game knowing a draw would be enough to secure the league crown with Wanderers needing the win if they were to win a first premier division title in the club’s history.

With Wanderers flat out in search of a winner and UCC looking threatening on the break, McLoughlin calmly side-footed into the top corner of Michael Devine’s net from the edge of the box seven minutes from time to spark joyous celebrations at the famous old venue.
