    Well done to the hurlers for a great win over UL today. They were massive underdogs going into the semis against defending champs WIT yesterday and they did well to grab victory from the jaws of defeat. The performnce today was nothing short of clinical, the game was effectively over after 35 mins after the 2nd goal went in.

    UCC Abu!

    Very lucky to win the semi-final, Waterford will be gutted, but dominated the final and definitely showed true class. Great to see a university with no question marks over the academic results or scholarships of its players win it out

    Valid point - I don't know any particular instances of teams fielding dodgy players, but I've definitely seen this happen over the years. As you say, good to see a team with no such issues doing well.

    Great win alright - what I don't like as a UCC student is that I never hear of games when they're going to be played,venue etc. I always read the reports in the UCC Express but there never seems to be any buzz about upcoming games in the Sigerson and Fitzgibbon to try drum up support for our teams. It's a shame really because there's great future talent to be seen in these competitions and watching the final the other day you could see that the standard of play was very high.

    The PE officer (or someone like that) sends out an e-mail about all the matches and fixtures. It must be fairly hard to tell everyone though. Not everyone in the college will check their college email regularly, and it would be very hard (nigh on impossible) to drum up support, or mass interest, in a sports event. There wouldn't be a huge percentage of students who would have enough of an interest in the GAA to go to the matches.
    Good to see the lads winning it though. Fair play to 'em!

    Ya i agree a few posters up would do no harm. I'd say most students dont even know UCC won the fitzgibbon. There wasnt even a homecoming or some sort of ceremony for the players. Well at least i didnt hear of it anyway
